Are there are any open-source projects that can be used to detect whether an image has text? It doesn't need to do OCR, just tell us whether there is a good probability that the image has text on it. My thought if I can't find one off-the-shelf is to build a CNN model to do the job, but I am assuming that this has already been done.
