Missing link for dictnet_vgg

Hi everyone,

I was testing the OpenCV Contrib samples of the text module. Regarding to the text_recognition_cnn.cpp sample, unfortunately the server is not available from 2019 and the refereed link is down and I was able only to get two of the three required files via the Wayback machine page. Also the Dropbox link for the .caffemodel file is invalid

Does someone have the proper link for the model? Can I get another model alike to test the text::TextDetectorCNN class? In theory, with the .prototxt file its possible to train again the model, is it worth?

Thanks

please raise an issue here

maybe you can try to contact the author, original code seems to be from here

btw, did you try the east text detection network ?

Hi @berak, thank you for your answer, I'm looking for a text recognition CNN example like the text_end_to_end_recognition, unfortunately I followed the steps for the DNN Example east text detection but it isn't still working in my OpenCV 4.3, I'm still investigating. I'll raise the issue in Github and I'll try to contact to the author, then I'm going to update this question with the possible solution. Regards.

well, the east example has just been modified to incorporate a crnn text (character) recognition network, things are moving fast here, if you don't solve it on your own, ask another question, please ;)

also, maybe @sovrasov, who wrote the text_recognition_cnn sample still has a copy of the caffemodel around ...
