Scene text detection is an important and challenging task in computer vision. For detecting arbitrarily-shaped texts, most existing methods require heavy data labeling efforts to produce polygon-level text region labels for supervised training. In order to reduce the cost in data labeling, we study mixed-supervised arbitrarily-shaped text detection by combining various weak supervision forms (e.g., image-level tags, coarse, loose and tight bounding boxes), which are far easier to annotate. Whereas the existing weakly-supervised learning methods (such as multiple instance learning) do not promote full object coverage, to approximate the performance of fully-supervised detection, we propose an Expectation-Maximization (EM) based mixed-supervised learning framework to train scene text detector using only a small amount of polygon-level annotated data combined with a large amount of weakly annotated data. The polygon-level labels are treated as latent variables and recovered from the weak labels by the EM algorithm. A new contour-based scene text detector is also proposed to facilitate the use of weak labels in our mixed-supervised learning framework. Extensive experiments on six scene text benchmarks show that (1) using only 10% strongly annotated data and 90% weakly annotated data, our method yields comparable performance to that of fully supervised methods, (2) with 100% strongly annotated data, our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on five scene text benchmarks (CTW1500, Total-Text, ICDAR-ArT, MSRA-TD500, and C-SVT), and competitive results on the ICDAR2015 Dataset. We will make our weakly annotated datasets publicly available.
