ET-SAM framework accelerates scene text analysis using SAM

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed ET-SAM, a novel framework designed to improve the efficiency and data utilization of scene text detection and layout analysis using the Segment Anything Model (SAM). ET-SAM introduces a lightweight point decoder that generates word heatmaps, significantly reducing the need for excessive foreground point prompts and accelerating inference speed by approximately three times compared to previous SAM-based methods. The framework also incorporates a joint training strategy that effectively combines datasets with heterogeneous text-level annotations, leading to competitive performance and an average F-score improvement of 11.0% on several benchmark datasets.
