Misunderstanding the scripts

[Didier0]

Hi, can you explain me some scripts?

What is difference between: T3 annotation tool scripts, Detection_Recognition_Annotation_script.m and the python scripts in Evaluation_Protocol?

Some script is used for generating file with groud truth of text on image (T3 ?), one is used for drawing polygon bounding box (Detection_Recognition_Annotation_script.m?) and the main script where magic is happening is Deteval.py or Pascal_VOC.py ?

HI there,

I think you are misunderstanding the purpose of these scripts. Files in the Annotation Tool folder are meant for the annotation platform we used to annotate TotalText, while the Evaluation Protocol folder has necessary scripts to evaluate the prediction results from a model.

If you want to draw polygons on the image, you need to write your own code to handle:

1. Reads in TotalText ground-truth polygons and image
2. Draw on the image using Pillow or OpenCV

Do note that we do not provide such code in this repo.

Ok, thank you for explanation!
