In order to detect the chinese calligraphy text, we can deal with this task step by step.
- First, use CTPN model to train the rpn and get the geographical positions of each line in the chinese calligraphy image.
- Then, predict the sub-image that contains just one single line of the overall text with the trained model,and collect all of them.
- On top of that, recognize the chinese character in these sub-images
Therefore,the two main models are：
- CTPN for location detection
- Densenet + ctc for character recognition
