@cs-chan It seems that there is a mistake in the result of end-to-end recognition.
In the Neurocomputing2019 paper, the authors say that "Total-Text [33] contains 744 horizontal text images for testing", which means that they did not evaluate the curved samples. Moreover, it is only a text recognition method which does not involve detection, instead of an end-to-end recognition method which involves both detection and recognition.
