Release MMOCR Release v1.0.0rc4 · open-mmlab/mmocr

Highlights

Dataset Preparer can automatically generate base dataset configs at the end of the preparation process, and supports 6 more datasets: IIIT5k, CUTE80, ICDAR2013, ICDAR2015, SVT, SVTP.
Introducing our projects/ folder - implementing new models and features into OpenMMLab's algorithm libraries has long been complained to be troublesome due to the rigorous requirements on code quality, which could hinder the fast iteration of SOTA models and might discourage community members from sharing their latest outcome here. We now introduce projects/ folder, where some experimental features, frameworks and models can be placed, only needed to satisfy the minimum requirement on the code quality. Everyone is welcome to post their implementation of any great ideas in this folder! We also add the first example project to illustrate what we expect a good project to have (check out the raw content of README.md for more info!).
Inside the projects/ folder, we are releasing the preview version of ABCNet, which is the first implementation of text spotting models in MMOCR. It's inference-only now, but the full implementation will be available very soon.
