An implementation of the Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network (CRNN), combining CNN, RNN, and CTC loss for image-based sequence recognition such as scene text recognition and OCR. It is built on Torch7 with Lua and includes pretrained models, a demo, and training tooling.

Use cases

  • recognize text in scene images
  • build an OCR model for word images
  • train a CRNN model on my own dataset
  • lexicon-free text recognition from images
  • implement CTC-based sequence recognition

When to choose

  • you need the reference CRNN implementation for scene text recognition
  • you want to train a CTC-based text recognizer on custom data
  • you are working in Torch7/Lua

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained PyTorch or TensorFlow OCR solution
  • you require end-to-end text detection plus recognition
  • your environment is not Linux with CUDA GPUs
