- The framework of the proposed Geometry Normalization Networks. The feature maps extracted by the backbone are fed into the Geometry Normalization Module (GNM) with multi-branches, each of which is composed of one Scale Normalization Unit (SNU)
$\mathcal{F}^s$ and Orientation Normalization Unit (ONU)$\mathcal{F}^o$ . There are two different scale normalization units ($\mathcal{S}, \mathcal{S}_\frac{1}{2} $ ) and four orientation normalization units ($\mathcal{O}, \mathcal{O}_r, \mathcal{O}f, \mathcal{O}{r+f}$). With different combinations of SNU and ONU, GNM generates different geometry normalized feature maps, which are fed into one shared text detection header.
