Vertical and Horizontal Scene Text Recognition Dataset (WHU-VHTR)

Although the vertical Chinese text recognition dataset presented by Yu is public, it is reproduced from the PosterErase dataset \cite{jiang2022self}, collected from the e-commerce platform for the poster text erasing task, and does not contain the challenges from real application scenarios. In this section, we establish a benchmark dataset (Vertical and Horizontal Text Recognition Dataset, WHU-VHTR) to promote in-depth research on STR.  Vertical and Horizontal Scene Text Recognition Dataset (WHU-VHTR) is a dataset of 23674 images annotated with line-level transcriptions.
