Nowadays, scene text detection has become increasingly important and popular. However, the large variance of text scale remains the main challenge and limits the detection performance in most previous methods. To address this problem, we propose an end-to-end architecture called Deep Scale Relationship Network (DSRN) to map multi-scale convolution features onto a scale invariant space to obtain uniform activation of multi-size text instances. Firstly, we develop a Scale-transfer module to…
