Generate text on a plain background

[MBleeker]

In the paper 'Towards End-to-end Text Spotting with Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks' (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1707.03985.pdf) the authors use this engine to generate synthetic text on pure colour backgrounds.

The problem when using a pure color background is that the depth is the same everywhere, and therefor the nregions is zero (https://github.com/ankush-me/SynthText/blob/master/synthgen.py#L619).

Any suggestion on how to generate region proposals on a plain background?

Thanks!

You would need to hack the engine a bit:
Try relaxing the filters here. Might need other changes though.
