cnn + lstm/gru + ctc (CRNN) for image text recognition
To run this repo:
1, python data_generator.py 0 # to generate validation data
2, python data_generator.py 1 # to generate training data
3, python script_recog.py # to train and validate
The model is mainly based on the method described in the article:
An End-to-End Trainable Neural Network for Image-based Sequence Recognition and Its Application to Scene Text Recognition
