bgshih/crnn
A Lua/Torch7 implementation of CRNN (Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network) for image-based sequence recognition, primarily used for OCR and scene text recognition.

This repository implements the Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network architecture that combines CNN feature extraction, RNN sequence modeling, and CTC (Connectionist Temporal Classification) loss for end-to-end sequence recognition from images. The model is built on Torch7 with CUDA GPU support and can be applied to tasks like scene text recognition and general OCR. A pretrained demo model is provided for immediate testing.
