To address these issues, this paper constructs a wheel hub text dataset and proposes a wheel hub text detection and recognition model called HubNet. The dataset captured images on real industrial production line scenes, including 446 images, 934 word instances, and 2947 character instances. HubNet is an end-to-end text detection and recognition model, not only comprising conventional detection and recognition heads but also incorporating a feature cross-fusion module, which improves the accuracy of recognizing wheel hub texts by utilizing both global and local features. Experimental results show that on the wheel hub text dataset, the HubNet achieves an accuracy of 86.5%, a recall of 79.4%, and an F1-score of 0.828, and the feature cross-fusion module increases the accuracy by 2% to 4%. The wheel hub dataset and the HubNet offer a significant reference for automatic detection and recognition of wheel hub text.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24196183","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,24]],"date-time":"2024-09-24T10:41:47Z","timestamp":1727174507000},"page":"6183","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["HubNet: An E2E Model for Wheel Hub Text Detection and Recognition Using Global and Local Features"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Yue","family":"Zeng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Image Processing Center, School of Astronautics, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0711-5949","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cai","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Image Processing Center, School of Astronautics, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"218","article-title":"Low-cost real-time automatic wheel classification system","volume":"1823","author":"Shabestari","year":"1992","journal-title":"Mach.
