PP-Structure is an intelligent document analysis system developed by the PaddleOCR team, which aims to help developers better complete tasks related to document understanding such as layout analysis and table recognition.
The pipeline of PP-Structurev2 system is shown below. The document image first passes through the image direction correction module to identify the direction of the entire image and complete the direction correction. Then, two tasks of layout information analysis and key information extraction can be completed.
The pipeline of PP-StructureV2 system is shown below. The document image first passes through the image direction correction module to identify the direction of the entire image and complete the direction correction. Then, two tasks of layout information analysis and key information extraction can be completed.
- In the layout analysis task, the image first goes through the layout analysis model to divide the image into different areas such as text, table, and figure, and then analyze these areas separately. For example, the table area is sent to the form recognition module for structured recognition, and the text area is sent to the OCR engine for text recognition. Finally, the layout recovery module restores it to a word or pdf file with the same layout as the original image;
- In the key information extraction task, the OCR engine is first used to extract the text content, and then the SER(semantic entity recognition) module obtains the semantic entities in the image, and finally the RE(relationship extraction) module obtains the correspondence between the semantic entities, thereby extracting the required key information.

Token based methods such as LayoutXLM are implemented in PaddleOCR. What's more, in PP-Structurev2, we simplify the LayoutXLM model and proposed VI-LayoutXLM, in which the visual feature extraction module is removed for speed-up. The textline sorting strategy conforming to the human reading order and UDML knowledge distillation strategy are utilized for higher model accuracy.
