A new approach to handwritten word detection, called WordDetectorNet, uses per-pixel bounding-box regression combined with DBSCAN clustering. Instead of traditional methods like anchor-based detection and Non-Maximum Suppression, this model classifies each pixel as a "word pixel" and regresses distances to its bounding box. Thousands of overlapping candidate boxes are then clustered using DBSCAN with a 1-IoU distance metric, and the median box per cluster is selected as the final detection. AI
