摘要

The identification of outdoor scene text proves difficult because outdoor environments feature complex backgrounds with dynamic lighting conditions and partial text obscuration. The proposed framework operates in two stages to identify numbers through a DDBB database that was specifically designed for outdoor sporting and racing settings. The system combines YOLOv8 nms variants with s and m versions to detect bib numbers and utilizes MMOCR toolkit for precise text recognition. Research trials were done through 60 and 120 training epoch procedures with precision, recall, and mean Average Precision (mAP) serving as performance parameters. The YOLOv8m model reached the highest mAP@0.5 score of 0.976 alongside an mAP@0.5:0.95 score of 0.712 while running for 60 epochs and attained 0.971 and 0.707 at 120 epochs illustrating its excellence in accuracy and stability. The proposed DDBB database and YOLOv8-MMOCR pipeline demonstrates exceptional capability in addressing real-world outdoor text detection needs through numbers detection in dynamic environments.
