1. Introduction

CascadTabNet is an automatic table recognition method for interpretation of tabular data in document images. We present an improved deep learning-based end to end approach for solving both problems of table detection and structure recognition using a single Convolution Neural Network (CNN) model. CascadeTabNet is a Cascade mask Region-based CNN High-Resolution Network (Cascade mask R-CNN HRNet) based model that detects the regions of tables and recognizes the structural body cells from the detected tables at the same time. We evaluate our results on ICDAR 2013, ICDAR 2019 and TableBank public datasets. We achieved 3rd rank in ICDAR 2019 post-competition results for table detection while attaining the best accuracy results for the ICDAR 2013 and TableBank dataset. We also attain the highest accuracy results on the ICDAR 2019 table structure recognition dataset.

2. Setup

Models are developed in Pytorch based MMdetection framework (Version 1.2) 

pip install -q mmcv terminaltables
git clone --branch v1.2.0 'https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection.git'
cd "mmdetection"
python setup.py install
python setup.py develop
pip install -r {"requirements.txt"}

Code is developed under following library dependencies

PyTorch = 1.4.0
Torchvision = 0.5.0
Cuda = 10.0

pip install torch==1.4.0+cu100 torchvision==0.5.0+cu100 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

If you are using Google Colaboratory (Colab), Then you need add

from google.colab.patches import cv2_imshow

and replace all the cv2.imshow with cv2_imshow

7. Datasets

  1. End to End Table Recognition Dataset
    We manually annotated some of the ICDAR 19 table competition (cTDaR) dataset images for cell detection in the borderless tables. More details about the dataset are mentioned in the paper.

  2. General Table Detection Dataset (ICDAR 19 + Marmot + Github)
    We manually corrected the annotations of Marmot and Github and combined them with ICDAR 19 dataset to create a general and robust dataset.
