ICDAR 2019 Chinese Signboard Text Recognition Challenge (Meituan Dataset)

Meituan’s new 25,000‑image Chinese signboard dataset—captured across varied devices, locations, lighting and angles—serves as the benchmark for the ICDAR 2019 Robust Reading Challenge, which features four tasks (end‑to‑end recognition, text‑line localization, single‑character and string recognition) with a 20k/2k/3k train/validation/test split, character‑level annotations, and participation from academic and industry partners, with registration opening March 1 and the competition concluding at the September conference in Sydney.
