I am looking to detect or classify a jersey number from a sporting event such as hockey in a video, I have tried VNRecongnizeTextRequest but do not get good results is there a better way to do such a task? Would I be better off creating my own model for this?
The results should have improved a bit using Revision3 of the VNRecognizeTextRequest. You could try that first.
Or you could train a custom classifier but that requires loads of images to get good results from that.
When text gets deformed on fabric or obscured it gets very difficult to read.
