Abstract: Computer implemented methods, systems, and computer program products include program code executing on a processor(s) that merges a document comprising multiple pages into a single document image. The program code processes the single document image to identify structural elements and textual content. The program code compares the structural elements of the single document image to other structural elements of a group of document templates stored in a database to identify a subset of the group of documents templates with a threshold number of similarities to the single document image. The program code generates, from the single document image, a graph structure representing the document, where the graph structure comprises visual information and connections related to the structural elements and concepts comprising the textual content. The program code uses the structure to identify a document template that is a closest match to the document.

Abstract: A surface normal model is trained to predict normal maps from single images using pair-wise angular losses. A training dataset comprising a training image and a ground truth normal map for the training image is received. To train the surface normal model using the training dataset, a predicted normal map is generated for the training image using the surface normal model. A loss is determined as a function of angular values between pairs of normal vectors for the predicted normal map and corresponding angular values between pairs of normal vectors for the ground truth normal map. The surface normal model is updated based on the loss.
