To achieve automatic extraction of text information from electrical equipment nameplates and improve equipment management efficiency, a text content extraction method for nameplate scenes is proposed. OCR, as a part of artificial intelligence, combined with deep learning, can achieve higher accuracy in nameplate recognition and a wider range of applications. There are two key issues worth exploring in the OCR recognition process: text region detection and text region recognition. The OCR recognition in this paper adopts the text detection and text recognition algorithm model based on Meaningful learning. Specifically, using the CTPN algorithm for text region detection and the CRNN algorithm for text recognition.
