The icdar2015 dataset can be obtained from [official website](https://rrc.cvc.uab.es/?ch=4&com=downloads). Registration is required for downloading.

Decompress the downloaded dataset to the working directory, assuming it is decompressed under PaddleOCR/train_data/. In addition, PaddleOCR organizes many scattered annotation files into two separate annotation files for train and test respectively, which can be downloaded by wget:

The image annotation after json.dumps() encoding is a list containing multiple dictionaries. The `points` in the dictionary represent the coordinates (x, y) of the four points of the text box, arranged clockwise from the point at the upper left corner.
The image annotation after **json.dumps()** encoding is a list containing multiple dictionaries.
The `points` in the dictionary represent the coordinates (x, y) of the four points of the text box, arranged clockwise from the point at the upper left corner.
`transcription` represents the text of the current text box. **When its content is "###" it means that the text box is invalid and will be skipped during training.**
`transcription` represents the text of the current text box, and this information is not needed in the text detection task.
If you want to train PaddleOCR on other datasets, please build the annotation file according to the above format.

## TRAINING
## TRAINING
First download the pretrained model. The detection model of PaddleOCR currently supports two backbones, namely MobileNetV3 and ResNet50_vd. You can use the model in [PaddleClas](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleClas/tree/master/ppcls/modeling/architectures) to replace backbone according to your needs.

If you expect to load trained model and continue the training again, you can specify the parameter `Global.checkpoints` as the model path to be loaded.
If you expect to load trained model and continue the training again, you can specify the parameter `Global.checkpoints` as the model path to be loaded.
**Note**:The priority of `Global.checkpoints` is higher than that of `Global.pretrain_weights`, that is, when two parameters are specified at the same time, the model specified by Global.checkpoints will be loaded first. If the model path specified by `Global.checkpoints` is wrong, the one specified by `Global.pretrain_weights` will be loaded.

When evaluating, set post-processing parameters `box_thresh=0.6`, `unclip_ratio=1.5`. If you use different datasets, different models for training, these two parameters should be adjusted for better result.

The model parameters during training are saved in the `Global.save_model_dir` directory by default. When evaluating indicators, you need to set `Global.checkpoints` to point to the saved parameter file.
