  • Patent number: 12265516
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for detecting and classifying columns of tables and/or tabular data arrangements within image data includes: detecting one or more tables and/or one or more tabular data arrangements within the image data; extracting the one or more tables and/or the one or more tabular data arrangements from the processed image data; and classifying either: a plurality of columns of the one or more extracted tables; a plurality of columns of the one or more extracted tabular data arrangements; or both the columns of the one or more extracted tables and the columns of the one or more extracted tabular data arrangements. Corresponding systems and computer program products are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11977534
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for classifying one or more tables and/or one or more tabular data arrangements depicted in image data includes: training a machine learning model, using a training dataset representing a plurality of different tables and/or tabular data arrangements, based at least in part on a plurality of recognized textual elements within the training dataset; and outputting a trained classification model based on the training, wherein the trained classification model is configured to classify one or more tables and/or one or more tabular data arrangements represented within a test dataset according to: one or more table classifications; one or more tabular data arrangement classifications; and/or one or more column classifications; and classifying the one or more tables and/or the one or more tabular data arrangements represented within the test dataset using the trained classification model.

  • Patent number: 11977533
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method for detecting, extracting information from, and classifying tables within an original image includes: pre-processing the original image to generate processed image data; detecting one or more tables within the processed image data; extracting the one or more tables from the processed image data; and classifying either: the one or more extracted tables; portions of the one or more extracted tables; or a combination thereof. Additional techniques for pre-processing image data to facilitate detection, extraction of information from, and classification of tables (or portions thereof) are also featured. Corresponding systems and computer program products are included in the scope of the invention. The inventive concepts are also applicable to tabular data arrangements that may not fit a strict definition of a “table.

  • Patent number: 5913821
    Abstract: A method for measuring functional laxity in a dog for determining presence of or absence of canine hip dysplasia is provided by placing the dog in a weight-bearing position; and assessing hip joint subluxation by an imaging technique by estimating a degree of dorsolateral subluxation for each hip joint of the positioned dog, with the degree of dorsolateral subluxation determined by measuring the portion of femoral head medial to the acetabulum. Also provided is an apparatus for placement and positioning of a dog, being evaluated for canine hip dysplasia, in a weight-bearing position.

  • Patent number: 5108897
    Abstract: A method for determining pregnancy in a dog or cat, as well as a method for distinguishing between pseudopregnancy and actual pregnancy in a dog or cat which methods comprise measuring relaxin levels in bodily fluids or tissues which carry relaxin early in pregnancy, the presence of significant amounts of relaxin being indicative of pregnancy.
