Description: EasyOCR is a python module for extracting text from image. It is a general OCR that can read both natural scene text and dense text in document.
We chose EasyOCR as our model and fine-tuned it for this detection task. This is an end-to-end model.
1. due to GPU limitation (we are using standard colab), we don't have enough epochs for training.
2. due to time constraints (we just learned about this contest in April), we didn't have enough fine-tuning experiments.

I hope you can inform me about better model or better methods after the contest, I am very interested in these tasks.
