SwinTextSpotter

This is the pytorch implementation of Paper: SwinTextSpotter: Scene Text Spotting via Better Synergy between Text Detection and Text Recognition (CVPR 2022). The paper is available at this link.

We use the models pre-trained on ImageNet. The ImageNet pre-trained SwinTransformer backbone is obtained from SwinT_detectron2.
