(1) Synthetic Scene Text Dataset from 3D World

Lanuages	Num of Images	Num of Text	Baidu Drive	Google Drive
English/Latin	728K	~20M	Link password: 2h8d	Link
Multilingual	674K	~18M	Link password: tddl	Link

The multilingual version consists of the following 10 languages: Arabic, English, French, Chinese, German, Korean, Japanese, Italian, Bangla, Hindi

Both datasets are very large (~150GB). Therefore, I split them into "several" files (~130). They are organzied as follows:

./
+---sub_0
    +---imgs
    |   0.jpg
    |   1.jpg
    |   ...
    |
    +---labels
    |   0.json
    |   1.json
    |   ...
    |
+---sub_1
+---sub_2
+---sub_3
...
+---sub_100
...

The labels are stored in the following format:

{
    "imgfile":str path to the corresponding image file, e.g. "imgs/0.jpg",
    "bbox": List[
                word_i(8 float):[x0, y0, x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, x4] 
                (from upper left corner, clockwise),
            ],
    "cbox": List[
                char_i(8 float):[x0, y0, x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, x4] 
                (from upper left corner, clockwise),
            ],
    "text": List[str]
}
