Google text recognition

Google Lens is a visual recognition tool from Google that allows users to search for information using their smartphone camera. Instead of typing keywords, users can simply point their camera at an object, text, or location, and Google Lens will analyze the visual data and provide relevant information or perform actions based on what it “sees.” From identifying plants to translating foreign text, Google Lens offers a unique way to bridge the physical and digital worlds. Below, we’ll break down how this tool works, the technology behind it, and the potential uses it offers to everyday users and businesses alike.The Technology Behind Google LensGoogle Lens relies on advanced image recognition technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to interpret visual data. By analyzing shapes, colors, and patterns in real-time, Google Lens can identify objects and text within images and generate relevant search results or actions. This is possible due to Google’s extensive database of images and information, which the tool uses as a reference when comparing the captured data. Essentially, Google Lens translates visual cues into searchable information, making it a powerful tool for visual learning and exploration.Image Recognition and Machine LearningThe core of Google Lens’s functionality is its machine learning models, which are trained on thousands of objects and images to recognize patterns. Every time users interact with Google Lens, the tool learns and refines its models, leading to improved accuracy over time. This means that Google Lens can recognize common objects, identify subtle differences, and become increasingly reliable as it processes more data. With each interaction, Google Lens becomes smarter, allowing it to provide more precise information in response to visual queries.Optical Character Recognition (OCR)One of the most remarkable features of Google Lens is its Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capability, which enables it to read and interpret text from images.

Validation set (9115 samples). The gap between 0.9676 and 0.9684 comes from that we ensemble three text line models in the competition, but here, we only use one model. Of course, hyperparameter tuning will also affect TEDS score.Pretrained ModelThe TableMASTER (TableMASTER_maxlength_500) pretrained model. In the validation set, the accuracy is 0.7767.[Google Drive][BaiduYun Drive] code:irp6The table textline detection model PSENet pretrained model.[Google Drive][BaiduYun Drive] code:6b30We also release the PSENet train data.[Google Drive][BaiduYun Drive] code:rzu2The table textline recognition model MASTER pretrained model. In the textline validation subset, the accuracy is 0.9798.[Google Drive][BaiduYun Drive] code:kp25PS: Due to some mistakes occur in making text-line recognition lmdb file, the accuracy of the MASTER pretrained model, is lower than the accuracy reported in this paper. In this version, we don't filter the text-line images of table head. In pubtabnet, content in table head is always surrounded by b /b, which means overstriking in visual. So, training with text-line images of table head will make model failed to recognition overstriking character. It will drop the word accuracy of text-line recognition model. Of course, it will drop the final TEDS score.We will fix this bug when next version pretrained model releases. You can also train a text-line recognition model, after filtering the text-line images of table head.The final TEDS score is 0.9618.
