TextNet is a lightweight and efficient architecture designed specifically for text detection, offering superior performance compared to traditional models like MobileNetV3. With variants **TextNet-T**, **TextNet-S**, and **TextNet-B** (6.8M, 8.0M, and 8.9M parameters respectively), it achieves an excellent balance between accuracy and inference speed. TextNet achieves state-of-the-art results in text detection, outperforming hand-crafted models in both accuracy and speed. Its architecture is highly efficient, making it ideal for GPU-based applications. We first compare TextNet with representative hand-crafted backbones, such as ResNets and VGG16. For a fair comparison, all models are first pre-trained on IC17-MLT [52] and then finetuned on Total-Text. The proposed TextNet models achieve a better trade-off between accuracy and inference speed than previous hand-crafted models by a significant margin. In addition, notably, our TextNet-T, -S, and -B only have 6.8M, 8.0M, and 8.9M parameters respectively, which are more parameter-efficient than ResNets and VGG16. These results demonstrate that TextNet models are effective for text detection on the GPU device.

MODEL HANDBOOK

Understand before you choose

Selection guide & FAQ
How should API prices be compared?+

Separate input, output and cache rates, then estimate the same workload. Image, audio and video rates may use items, duration or resolution rather than tokens.

Do open weights mean free commercial use?+

Not necessarily. Check each version’s license, commercial restrictions and policies. Self-hosting also incurs compute and maintenance costs.

Is the top-ranked model the best for me?+

Rankings depend on tasks, versions and methods. Compare accuracy, latency, reliability and costs on your own workload.
