The TextOCR dataset Official Website | Download Link
After downloading the images and annotations, unzip the files, after which the directory structure should be like as follows (ignoring the archive files):
TextOCR
|--- train_val_images
| |--- <image_name>.jpg
| |--- <image_name>.jpg
| |--- ...
|--- TextOCR_0.1_train.json
|--- TextOCR_0.1_val.json
To prepare the data for text detection, you can run the following commands:
python tools/dataset_converters/convert.py \
--dataset_name textocr --task det \
--image_dir path/to/TextOCR/train_val_images/ \
--label_dir path/to/TextOCR/TextOCR_0.1_train.json \
--output_path path/to/TextOCR/det_gt.txt
The generated standard annotation file det_gt.txt
will now be placed under the folder TextOCR/
.
