Introduction

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 [Arxiv].

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 (new!)
• Re-annotated scene text recognition dataset used in our evaluation
