Text information contained in scene images is very useful for image understanding. In this paper, we propose a high-level representation named stroke bank for scene character recognition. Inspired by the work of object bank, we train stroke detectors and use detectors' maximal output as features. Specifically, we collect training samples for stroke detectors based on labeled key points. We also propose to restrict classification areas of each stroke detector to particular local regions, which alleviates computation burden and retains discrimination power at the same time. Experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method and the results outperform state-of-the-art algorithms.
