Calibrated Degradation-Aware Augmentation for Robust Complex Street-View Text Detection
Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Street-view text detection is sensitive to small text and capture degradation. This paper studies a compact detection-only pipeline combining high-resolution one-stage detectors with Calibrated Degradation-Aware Augmentation (CDAA). On ICDAR2015 validation, YOLOv8s improves from 0.7415 mAP50 at 640 to 0.8097 at 1152. Medium CDAA provides the clearest degraded-set robustness for YOLOv8s, while YOLO11s with curriculum CDAA is selected as the balanced final model. Supplementary MSRA-TD500 evidence is mixed because oriented text is simplified into horizontal boxes.
