Table recognition method and system fusing multiple text features and geometrical information

Abstract

The invention provides a table recognition method fusing multiple text features and geometrical information. The method comprises: a data processing step of obtaining a picture of a table area, and respectively carrying out OCR and straight line recognition on the obtained picture to obtain key feature information; a graph convolutional neural network training step of performing graph convolutional neural network training according to the obtained key feature information, and constructing a table structure recognition model; and a table identification step of performing structure identification on the table in the picture format according to the constructed table structure identification model. The invention provides thea table recognition method fusing the multiple text features and the geometrical information. Improvements are made in the aspects of diversity of adopted data, a method for performing feature extraction on the data and the like, the accuracy of table recognition is effectively improved, a more accurate table structure reconstruction result is obtained, and compared with an existing table recognition mechanism based on traditional rules and a traditional deep learning method based on pictures, the table recognition method has the advantage that the effect is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of image recognition, in particular to a table recognition method and system that integrates various text features and geometric information. Background technique [0002] In the information age, how to quickly obtain information and extract key knowledge from massive and complex information is an important issue. As a form of structured data, tables have the characteristics of simplicity and standardization. For users, due to its standardization, information query and comparison are relatively simple; for computers, once the digital table structure is provided, the required data can also be quickly extracted. However, many tables are packaged in image format when published, thus losing the structural information. Therefore, how to re-identify the table structure from the table in image format becomes an important issue. [0003] Existing form recognition technologies include traditional rule-based method...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] (1) Many tables will omit the frame lines on both sides of the table for the sake of beauty, and even the popular three-line table only includes two frame lines at the header part and the frame line at the bottom of the table, which proposes a lot for the method of identifying the structure of the table relying on the frame lines big challenge
