Text Instance Representations

Fourier Contour Embedding

Introduced by Zhu et al. in Fourier Contour Embedding for Arbitrary-Shaped Text Detection

Fourier Contour Embedding is a text instance representation that allows networks to learn diverse text geometry variances. Most of existing methods model text instances in image spatial domain via masks or contour point sequences in the Cartesian or the polar coordinate system. However, the mask representation might lead to expensive post-processing, while the point sequence one may have limited capability to model texts with highly-curved shapes. This motivates modeling text instances in the Fourier domain.
