Document binarization is a key pre-processing step for many document analysis tasks. However, existing methods can not extract stroke edges finely, mainly due to the fair-treatment nature of vanilla convolutions and the extraction of stroke…
We develop a diffusion-based approach for various document layout sequence generation. Layout sequences specify the contents of a document design in an explicit format. Our novel diffusion-based approach works in the sequence domain rather…
Document digitization is vital for preserving historical records, efficient document management, and advancing OCR (Optical Character Recognition) research. Document Layout Analysis (DLA) involves segmenting documents into meaningful units…
Document structure analysis (aka document layout analysis) is crucial for understanding the physical layout and logical structure of documents, with applications in information retrieval, document summarization, knowledge extraction, etc.…
