The scene text detection formula that uses region-based convolutional neural network (RCNN), is extremely standard in recent years. It boosts the performance considerably by creating a mix of 2 key insights. the primary one is to localize and section objects by applying high-capacity convolutional neural network to bottom-up region proposals. The second is to use supervised pre-training followed by domain-specific finetuning to coaching giant convolutional neural networks once the tagged training information is lean [1]. we tend to train a replacement model supported a dataset collected by ourselves from google web site. In this project, we tend to first of all introduce some relevant ideas. we tend to describe the selective search technique used for region proposal, and also the compositions of building blocks of convolutional neural network (CNN) that embrace convolutional layer, pooling layer, corrected linear units (ReLU), fully-connected layer and loss layer. we tend to detail the method of information set preparation that consists of data assortment, information labelling and format transformation, that is taken into account as vital preparation work for coaching method.The core part of this project is that the institution of the scene text detection system from the module style to the model testing and validation.
