* Note: For the training and evaluation of the above DB model, post-processing parameters box_thresh=0.6 and unclip_ratio=1.5 need to be set. If using different datasets and different models for training, these two parameters can be adjusted for better result.

## FAQ
D
dyning 已提交
176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184
1. Error when using attention-based recognition model: KeyError: 'predict'

    The inference of recognition model based on attention loss is still being debugged. For Chinese text recognition, it is recommended to choose the recognition model based on CTC loss first. In practice, it is also found that the recognition model based on attention loss is not as effective as the one based on CTC loss.

2. About inference speed

    When there are a lot of texts in the picture, the prediction time will increase. You can use `--rec_batch_num` to set a smaller prediction batch size. The default value is 30, which can be changed to 10 or other values.

3. Service deployment and mobile deployment
T

    It is expected that the service deployment based on Serving and the mobile deployment based on Paddle Lite will be released successively in mid-to-late June. Stay tuned for more updates.
