Confidence-Aware Ensemble and Long-Word Refinement for Artistic Text Recognition

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 30, 2026 · UTC

Artistic Text Recognition (ATR) remains challenging because word images often combine decorative fonts, curved layouts, object-like characters, clutter, and severe distortions. This paper studies WordArt-V1.5 as a standardized benchmark for this setting and evaluates recent scene and artistic text recognizers under a common protocol. We propose a confidence-aware ensemble that combines SVTRv2, PARSeq, and MAERec after fine-tuning on the official training split. The ensemble selects predictions using the minimum confidence over disagreement positions, emphasizing characters that separate compet
