ICDAR 2013 dataset

What is ICDAR 2013Dataset?

The ICDAR 2013 dataset focuses on text content extraction from born-digital pictures, such as those used online and by email (born-digital images are media files created for online transmission). The ICDAR 2013 dataset comprises of 462 photos, including 229 for the training set and 233 for the test set. Text localization, text segmentation, and word recognition are all challenges relevant to the need to conduct text extraction from born-digital pictures.

ICDAR 2013 Dataset Structure

ICDAR 2013 Data Fields
For Text Localization
 
  • images: tensor containing images.
  • boxes/box: tensor coordinates of bounding boxes.
  • boxes/labels: tensor containing labels of bounding boxes.
For Text Segmentation
 
  • images: tensor containing images.
  • center_coordinates: tensor containing center coordinates of bounding box. For visibility on Deep Lake, a 3rd value 2 is added additionally. Thus x, y, 2.
  • boxes/box: tensor containing coordinates of bounding boxes.
  • boxes/labels: tensor containing labels of bounding boxes.
  • masks/mask: tensor containing binary mask.
  • masks/mask_pixel: tensor containing pixel values.
For Text Recognition
 
  • images: tensor containing images.
  • labels: tensor containing labels corresponding to the images.

How to use ICDAR 2013 Dataset with PyTorch and TensorFlow in Python

Train a model on ICDAR 2013 dataset with PyTorch in Python

Let’s use Deep Lake built-in PyTorch one-line dataloader to connect the data to the compute:

				
					dataloader = ds.pytorch(num_workers=0, batch_size=4, shuffle=False)
Train a model on ICDAR 2013 dataset with TensorFlow in Python
				
					dataloader = ds.tensorflow()
