### 2.3 Result description

The return of PP-Structure is a list of dicts, the example is as follows:

<a name="231"></a>
#### 2.3.1 layout analysis + table recognition
```shell
[
  {   'type': 'Text',
      'bbox': [34, 432, 345, 462],
      'res': ([[36.0, 437.0, 341.0, 437.0, 341.0, 446.0, 36.0, 447.0], [41.0, 454.0, 125.0, 453.0, 125.0, 459.0, 41.0, 460.0]],
                [('Tigure-6. The performance of CNN and IPT models using difforen', 0.90060663), ('Tent  ', 0.465441)])
  }
]
```
Each field in dict is described as follows:

| field | description  |
| --- |---|
|type| Type of image area.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
|bbox| The coordinates of the image area in the original image, respectively [upper left corner x, upper left corner y, lower right corner x, lower right corner y].                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
|res| OCR or table recognition result of the image area. <br> table: a dict with field descriptions as follows: <br>&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; `html`: html str of table.<br>&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; In the code usage mode, set return_ocr_result_in_table=True whrn call can get the detection and recognition results of each text in the table area, corresponding to the following fields: <br>&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; `boxes`: text detection boxes.<br>&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; `rec_res`: text recognition results.<br> OCR: A tuple containing the detection boxes and recognition results of each single text. |

After the recognition is completed, each image will have a directory with the same name under the directory specified by the `output` field. Each table in the image will be stored as an excel, and the picture area will be cropped and saved. The filename of  excel and picture is their coordinates in the image.
  ```
  /output/table/1/
    └─ res.txt
    └─ [454, 360, 824, 658].xlsx        table recognition result
    └─ [16, 2, 828, 305].jpg            picture in Image
    └─ [17, 361, 404, 711].xlsx        table recognition result
