A Cloud- based Reading Aid for the Visually Impaired Abstract For the visually-impaired segment of the population, the inability to read has a substantive negative impact on their quality of life. Printed text (books, magazines, menus, labels, etc.) still represents a sizable portion of the information this group needs to have unrestricted access to. Hence, developing methods by which […]

Text-Attentional Convolutional Neural Network for Scene Text Detection Abstract Recent deep learning models have demonstrated strong capabilities for classifying text and non-textcomponents in natural images. They extract a high-level feature globally computed from a whole image component (patch), where the cluttered background information may dominate true text features in the deep representation. This leads to less discriminative power and […]
