Question about Character and Word detection branches

[GPhilo]

In your paper, the images you show have rotated character bounding boxes and simple bounding boxes for the word detector. However, in your code, the WordDetector has an orientation prediction head and output, while the CharDetector returns None for the character orientation. Is it possible that the two have been accidentally swapped?

[GPhilo]

Nevermind, I somehow missed the rotated bounding boxes for words as well in the images..
Still, why is it that the character orientation is not computed?

I think they have initialized the pred_char_orient as equal to 0 and in every iteration, it gets updated
