  • Publication number: 20260004603
    Abstract: According to implementations of the present disclosure, a solution of table structure recognition is provided. A first set of reference points in the image including the table is determined based on a first feature map. The first feature map is generated from an image, and the first set of reference points are candidate points on the separation lines of a first type of the table. Based on at least a part of the first feature map and features of the first set of reference points, a set of predicted separation lines of the first type of the table can be determined in the image. The structure of the table is determined based at least on the set of predicted separation lines of the first type. In this way, the tables of various structures can be restored from the image.

  • Patent number: 12462589
    Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure provide a solution for text line detection. In this solution, a first text region comprising a first portion of at least a first text element and a second text region comprising a second portion of at least a second text element are determined from an image. A first feature representation is extracted from the first text region and a second feature representation is extracted from the second text region. The first and second feature representations comprise at least one of an image feature representation or a semantic feature representation of the image. A link relationship between the first and second text regions can then be determined based at least in part on the first and second feature representations. The link relationship can indicate whether the first and second portions of the first and second text elements are located in a same text line.
