Answer 1

For convenience sake I'd like to add the package keras_ocr. It can easily be installed with pip, and is based on the CRAFT text detector, which is a bit newer than the EAST detector if I'm not wrong.

Next to the detection it already does some OCR too! The results are as seen below, see this as an alternative, maybe easier to implement, than the accepted answer.
