#### 2.1.3 Layout Analysis
Layout analysis refers to the division of 5 types of areas of the document, including text, title, list, picture and table. For the first three types of regions, directly use the OCR model to complete the text detection and recognition of the corresponding regions, and save the results in txt. For the table area, after the table structuring process, the table picture is converted into an Excel file of the same table style. The picture area will be individually cropped into an image.
To use the layout analysis function of PaddleOCR, you need to specify `--type=structure`
| bbox | The coordinates of the image area in the original image, respectively [left upper x, left upper y, right bottom x, right bottom y] |
| res | OCR or table recognition result of image area。<br> Table: HTML string of the table; <br> OCR: A tuple containing the detection coordinates and recognition results of each single line of text |
