## Algorithm introduction This tutorial lists the text detection algorithms and text recognition algorithms supported by PaddleOCR, as well as the models and metrics of each algorithm on **English public datasets**. It is mainly used for algorithm introduction and algorithm performance comparison. For more models on other datasets including Chinese, please refer to [PP-OCR v1.1 models list](./models_list_en.md). - [1. Text Detection Algorithm](#TEXTDETECTIONALGORITHM) - [2. Text Recognition Algorithm](#TEXTRECOGNITIONALGORITHM) ### 1. Text Detection Algorithm PaddleOCR open source text detection algorithms list: - [x] EAST([paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.03155)) - [x] DB([paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.08947)) - [x] SAST([paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.05498))(Baidu Self-Research) On the ICDAR2015 dataset, the text detection result is as follows: |Model|Backbone|precision|recall|Hmean|Download link| |-|-|-|-|-|-| |EAST|ResNet50_vd||||[Coming soon]()| |EAST|MobileNetV3||||[Coming soon]()| |DB|ResNet50_vd||||[Coming soon]()| |DB|MobileNetV3||||[Coming soon]()| |SAST|ResNet50_vd||||[Coming soon]()| On Total-Text dataset, the text detection result is as follows: |Model|Backbone|precision|recall|Hmean|Download link| |-|-|-|-|-|-| |SAST|ResNet50_vd||||[Coming soon]()| **Note：** Additional data, like icdar2013, icdar2017, COCO-Text, ArT, was added to the model training of SAST.
