Installation

1. Get the code. We will call the directory that you cloned Caffe into $CAFFE_ROOT

git clone https://github.com/BestSonny/SSTD.git
cd SSTD

2. Build the code. Please follow Caffe instruction to install all necessary packages and build it.

# Modify Makefile.config according to your Caffe installation.
cp Makefile.config.example Makefile.config
make -j8
# Make sure to include $CAFFE_ROOT/python to your PYTHONPATH.
make py
make test -j8
# (Optional)
make runtest -j8
# build nms
cd examples/text
make
cd ..

3. Run the demo code. Download Model google drive, baiduyun and put it in text/model folder

cd examples
sh text/download.sh
mkdir text/result
python text/demo_test.py
