If you want to run evaluation on COCO-Text dataset, download and unizip train2014.zip to ./COCO directory.
Then run the following script.
python eval_on_coco_text.py
If you just want ocr on images, run ctpn_crnn_pytorch.py.
PyTorch version of CRNN yields much better result than Tensorflow version.
python ctpn_crnn_pytorch.py
For implementation detail or experiment results, refer to the report.
