Abstract

A method and apparatus for detecting text regions in an image, a device, and a medium are provided. The method may include: detecting, based on feature representation of an image, a first text region in the image, where the first text region covers a text in the image, a region occupied by the text being of a certain shape; determining, based on a feature block of the first text region, text geometry information associated with the text, where the text geometry information includes a text centerline of the text and distance information of the centerline from the upper and lower borders of the text; and adjusting, based on the text geometry information associated with the text, the first text region to a second text region, where the second text region also covers the text and is smaller than the first text region.
