Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network
This software implements the Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network (CRNN) in pytorch. Origin software could be found in crnn
Run demo
A demo program can be found in demo.py
. Before running the demo, download a pretrained model
from Baidu Netdisk or Dropbox.
This pretrained model is converted from auther offered one by tool
.
Put the downloaded model file crnn.pth
into directory data/
. Then launch the demo by:
python demo.py
The demo reads an example image and recognizes its text content.
Example image:
Expected output: loading pretrained model from ./data/crnn.pth a-----v--a-i-l-a-bb-l-ee-- => available
Dependence
- warp_ctc_pytorch
- lmdb
Train a new model
- Construct dataset following origin guide. If you want to train with variable length images (keep the origin ratio for example), please modify the
tool/create_dataset.py
and sort the image according to the text length. - Execute
python train.py --adadelta --trainRoot {train_path} --valRoot {val_path} --cuda
. Exploretrain.py
for details.
