### Paper source

# Arbitrary-Oriented Scene Text Detection via Rotation Proposals

https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.01086

### News
We update RRPN in pytorch 1.0! View **https://github.com/mjq11302010044/RRPN_plusplus** for more details. Text Spotter f-measure results are 89.5 % in IC15, 92.0\% in IC13. The testing speed can reach 13.3 fps in IC13 with input shorter size of 640px !

### Requirements: software

1. Requirements for `Caffe` and `pycaffe` (see: [Caffe installation instructions](http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/installation.html))

**Note:** Caffe *must* be built with support for Python layers!

```make
# In your Makefile.config, make sure to have this line uncommented
WITH_PYTHON_LAYER := 1
# Unrelatedly, it's also recommended that you use CUDNN
USE_CUDNN := 1
```
You can download my [Makefile.config](http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~rbg/fast-rcnn-data/Makefile.config) for reference.
2. Python packages you might not have: `cython`, `python-opencv`, `easydict`

### Requirements: hardware

1. For training the end-to-end version of RRPN with VGG16, 4~5G of GPU memory is sufficient (using CUDNN)

### Installation (sufficient for the demo)
1. Clone the RRPN repository
```Shell
# git clone https://github.com/mjq11302010044/RRPN.git
```

2. We'll call the directory that you cloned RRPN into `RRPN_ROOT`


3. Build the Cython modules
```Shell
cd $RRPN_ROOT/lib
make
```

4. Build Caffe and pycaffe
```Shell
cd $RRPN_ROOT/caffe-fast-rcnn
# Now follow the Caffe installation instructions here:
# http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/installation.html

# If you're experienced with Caffe and have all of the requirements installed
# and your Makefile.config in place, then simply do:
make -j4 && make pycaffe
```

5. Download pre-computed RRPN detectors
```Shell
Trained VGG16 model download link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5rKZkZodGIsV2RJUjVlMjNOZkE

```

Then move the model into `$RRPN_ROOT/data/faster_rcnn_models`.

### Demo

*After successfully completing [basic installation](#installation-sufficient-for-the-demo)*, you'll be ready to run the demo.

To run the demo
```Shell
cd $RRPN_ROOT
python ./tools/rotation_demo.py
```
The txt results will be saved in `$RRPN_ROOT/result`

### Beyond the demo: installation for training and testing models

You can use the function `get_rroidb()` in `$RRPN_ROOT/lib/rotation/data_extractor.py` to manage your training data:

Each training sample should be managed in a python dict like:

im_info = {
'gt_classes': # Set to 1(Only text)
'max_classes': # Set to 1(Only text)
'image': # image path to access
'boxes': # ground truth box
'flipped' : # Flip an image or not (Not implemented)
'gt_overlaps' : # overlap of a class(text)
'seg_areas' : # area of an ground truth region
'height': # height of an image data
'width': # width of an image data
'max_overlaps' : # max overlap with each gt-proposal
'rotated': # Random angle to rotate an image
}
*Then assign your database to the variable 'roidb' in __main__ function of `$RRPN_ROOT/tools/train_net.py`*

``` In $RRPN_ROOT/tools/train_net.py
116: roidb = get_rroidb("train") # change to your data manage function
```

### Download pre-trained ImageNet models

Pre-trained ImageNet models can be downloaded for the networks described in the paper: VGG16.

```Shell
cd $RRPN_ROOT
./data/scripts/fetch_imagenet_models.sh
```
VGG16 comes from the [Caffe Model Zoo](https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/wiki/Model-Zoo), but is provided here for your convenience.
ZF was trained at MSRA.

Then you can train RRPN by typing:
```
./experiment/scripts/faster_rcnn_end2end.sh [GPU_ID] [NET] rrpn
```
[NET] usually takes `VGG16`

Trained RRPN networks are saved under:(We set the directory to './' by default.)

```
./
```
One can change the directory in variable `output_dir` in `$RRPN_ROOT/tools/train_net.py`
