A Review On Table Recognition Based On Deep Learning

원문 초록

Table recognition is using the computer to automatically understand the table, to detect the position of the table from the document or picture, and to correctly extract and identify the internal structure and content of the table. After earlier mainstream approaches based on heuristic rules and machine learning, the development of deep learning techniques has brought a new paradigm to this field. This review mainly discusses the table recognition problem from five aspects. The first part introduces data sets, benchmarks, and commonly used evaluation indicators. This section selects representative data sets, benchmarks, and evaluation indicators that are frequently used by researchers. The second part introduces the table recognition model. This survey introduces the development of the table recognition model, especially the table recognition model based on deep learning. It is generally accepted that table recognition is divided into two stages: table detection and table structure recognition. This section introduces the models that follow this paradigm (TD and TSR). The third part is the End-to-End method, this section introduces some scholars' attempts to use an end-to-end approach to solve the table recognition problem once and for all and the part are Data-centric methods, such as data augmentation, aligning benchmarks, and other methods. The fourth part is the data-centric approach, such as data enhancement, alignment benchmark, and so on. The fifth part summarizes and compares the experimental data in the field of form recognition, and analyzes the mainstream and more advantageous methods. Finally, this paper also discusses the possible development direction and trend of form processing in the future, to provide some ideas for researchers in the field of table recognition.
