The Style-Text data synthesis tool is a tool based on Baidu's self-developed text editing algorithm "Editing Text in the Wild" [https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.03047](https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.03047).

Different from the commonly used GAN-based data synthesis tools, the main framework of Style-Text includes:
* (1) Text foreground style transfer module.
* (2) Background extraction module.
* (3) Fusion module.

After these three steps, you can quickly realize the image text style transfer. The following figure is some results of the data synthesis tool.

If you save the model in another location, please modify the address of the model file in `configs/config.yml`, and you need to modify these three configurations at the same time:

* Note: The language options is correspond to the corpus. Currently, the tool only supports English, Simplified Chinese and Korean.

For example, enter the following image and corpus `PaddleOCR`.

<div align="center">
    <img src="examples/style_images/2.jpg" width="300">
</div>

The result `fake_fusion.jpg` will be generated.

<div align="center">
    <img src="doc/images/4.jpg" width="300">
</div>

What's more, the medium result `fake_bg.jpg` will also be saved, which is the background output.

<div align="center">
    <img src="doc/images/7.jpg" width="300">
</div>


`fake_text.jpg` * `fake_text.jpg` is the generated image with the same font style as `Style Input`.

In actual application scenarios, it is often necessary to synthesize pictures in batches and add them to the training set. StyleText can use a batch of style pictures and corpus to synthesize data in batches. The synthesis process is as follows:

1. The referenced dataset can be specifed in `configs/dataset_config.yml`:

   * `Global`
     * `output_dir:`:Output synthesis data path.
   * `StyleSampler`
     * `image_home`:style images' folder.
     * `label_file`:Style images' file list. If label is provided, then it is the label file path.
     * `with_label`:Whether the `label_file` is label file list.
   * `CorpusGenerator`
     * `method`:Method of CorpusGenerator,supports `FileCorpus` and `EnNumCorpus`. If `EnNumCorpus` is used,No other configuration is needed,otherwise you need to set `corpus_file` and `language`.
     * `language`:Language of the corpus.

     * `corpus_file`: Filepath of the corpus. Corpus file should be a text file which will be split by line-endings('\n'). Corpus generator samples one line each time.

We provide a general dataset containing Chinese, English and Korean (50,000 images in all) for your trial ([download link](https://paddleocr.bj.bcebos.com/dygraph_v2.0/style_text/chkoen_5w.tar)), some examples are given below :

2. You can run the following command to start synthesis task:

   ``` bash
   python -m tools.synth_dataset.py -c configs/dataset_config.yml
   ```

We take two scenes as examples, which are metal surface English number recognition and general Korean recognition, to illustrate practical cases of using StyleText to synthesize data to improve text recognition. The following figure shows some examples of real scene images and composite images:

After adding the above synthetic data for training, the accuracy of the recognition model is improved, which is shown in the following table:
