Prerequisite

Usage

1. Install Caffe

cp Makefile.config.example Makefile.config
# adjust Makefile.config (for example, enable python layer)
make all -j16
# make sure to include $CAFFE_ROOT/python to your PYTHONPATH.
make pycaffe

Please refer to Caffe Installation to ensure other dependencies.

2. Data and model preparation

# download datasets and pretrained model then
mkdir data && mv [your_dataset_folder] data/
mkdir models && mv [your_pretrained_model] models/

3. Training scripts

# an example on Total-Text dataset
cd examples/TextField/
python train.py --gpu [your_gpu_id] --dataset total --initmodel ../../models/synth_iter_800000.caffemodel

4. Evaluation scripts

# an example on Total-Text dataset
cd evaluation/total/
./eval.sh
