STEFANN: Scene Text Editor using Font Adaptive Neural Network

The proposed method is composed of the following steps: (1) Selection of the source character to be replaced,(2) Generation of the binary target character, (3) Color transfer and (4) Character placement. In the first step, we manually select the text area that requires to be modified. Then, the algorithm detects the bounding boxes of each character in the selected text region. Next, we manually select the bounding box around the character to be modified and also specify the target character. Based on these user in-puts, the target character is generated, colorized and placed in the inpainted region of the source character.
