MonkeyOCRv2 Detection (DPText-DETR)
This repository provides the DPText-DETR text detection experiments from the
MonkeyOCRv2 paper. The visual encoder from
MonkeyOCRv2-AS (ViTAEv2-S,
21M parameters) is integrated into
DPText-DETR as a drop-in detectron2
backbone. The last three ViTAEv2 stages (strides 8/16/32) are exposed as
res3–res5 and feed the standard deformable-DETR input projections, so the
transformer encoder/decoder and the detection head are unchanged.
Training and evaluation follow the official DPText-DETR protocols on Total-Text, CTW1500, ICDAR19-ArT, Rotated Total-Text and Inverse-Text.
Models and Results
For each benchmark, three visual backbones are compared under identical settings: the original ImageNet-pretrained ResNet-50, the text-specific oCLIP ResNet-50, and MonkeyOCRv2. MonkeyOCRv2 consistently improves F-score across all five benchmarks.
All models are trained directly on the target dataset (no SynthText/MLT
pre-training), for 200k iterations with a total batch size of 8, using the
positional label form and the rotated training images released with
DPText-DETR (*_poly_train_rotate_pos).

Rotated Total-Text and Inverse-Text are test-only benchmarks: they reuse
the Total-Text model above and only change DATASETS.TEST.

Evaluation
Each config already carries the MODEL.TRANSFORMER.INFERENCE_TH_TEST value
that reproduces the corresponding row of the tables above, so evaluating on
the dataset a model was trained on needs no extra flags:
# Total-Text
python tools/train_net.py --num-gpus 8 --eval-only \
--config-file configs/DPText_DETR/TotalText_Direct_Rotate/mkv2vitae_align.yaml \
MODEL.WEIGHTS model_weight/dptext_mkv2vitae_totaltext.pth
# CTW1500
python tools/train_net.py --num-gpus 8 --eval-only \
--config-file configs/DPText_DETR/CTW_Rotate/mkv2vitae_align.yaml \
MODEL.WEIGHTS model_weight/dptext_mkv2vitae_ctw1500.pth
Evaluation prints precision / recall / hmean on the copypaste: line,
matching the tables above.
Rotated Total-Text and Inverse-Text
These reuse the Total-Text checkpoints and override the test set and the threshold:
# Rotated Total-Text
python tools/train_net.py --num-gpus 8 --eval-only \
--config-file configs/DPText_DETR/TotalText_Direct_Rotate/mkv2vitae_align.yaml \
MODEL.WEIGHTS model_weight/dptext_mkv2vitae_totaltext.pth \
MODEL.TRANSFORMER.INFERENCE_TH_TEST 0.395 \
DATASETS.TEST '("totaltext_poly_test_rotate",)'
# Inverse-Text
python tools/train_net.py --num-gpus 8 --eval-only \
--config-file configs/DPText_DETR/TotalText_Direct_Rotate/mkv2vitae_align.yaml \
MODEL.WEIGHTS model_weight/dptext_mkv2vitae_totaltext.pth \
MODEL.TRANSFORMER.INFERENCE_TH_TEST 0.37 \
DATASETS.TEST '("inversetext_test",)'
The full set of thresholds used for the tables:
| Backbone | Total-Text | Rot.Total-Text | Inverse-Text | CTW1500 | ArT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ResNet-50 | 0.37 | 0.415 | 0.45 | 0.495 | 0.375 |
| oCLIP | 0.34 | 0.34 | 0.37 | 0.365 | 0.35 |
| MonkeyOCRv2 | 0.405 | 0.395 | 0.37 | 0.375 | 0.355 |
tools/search_th.py sweeps INFERENCE_TH_TEST for a trained model and
reports the best F-score:
python tools/search_th.py \
--output-dir output/mkv2vitae_align/totaltext/direct_rotate \
--test-dataset totaltext_poly_test --start 0.1 --end 0.5 --num-gpus 8
ICDAR19-ArT
ArT has no public test ground-truth. Evaluating an ArT config writes
<OUTPUT_DIR>/inference/art_submit.json, which has to be uploaded to the
ICDAR19-ArT evaluation server to obtain the
P / R / F numbers reported above:
python tools/train_net.py --num-gpus 8 --eval-only \
--config-file configs/DPText_DETR/ArT_Rotate/mkv2vitae_align.yaml \
MODEL.WEIGHTS model_weight/dptext_mkv2vitae_art.pth
