UnrealText is a project that synthesizes scene text images using 3D graphics engine. This repository accompanies our paper: UnrealText: Synthesizing Realistic Scene Text Images from the Unreal World [PDF].
We release (Baidu/Google Drive):
- Large-scale Latin/English and multilingual synthetic scene text datasets
- Source code and instructions on how to use them
- Demo UE project and all 30 precompiled scene executables
- Re-annotated scene text recognition dataset used in our evaluation
If you find our project helpful in your research, you are highly encouraged to cite our paper:
