In another preferred embodiment, the table cells are randomly divided or divided in a set size.
In this embodiment, the input of the table structure identification model is a table unit in a picture format, and the output is an html file code.
The beneficial effect of this embodiment lies in:

According to the above embodiment, in the present embodiment:
the table structure identification model is a model of an encoder-decoder structure;

the decoder can obtain a table structure frame according to the feature extraction result.
The table structure recognition model is a model based on a self-attention mechanism;
the encoder is capable of extracting local features, global features, associated features and element sequence features of source sequence elements; the source sequence comprises the ordered plurality of table cells; the source sequence element refers to the table unit, or a character string obtained by splitting the table unit;

In this embodiment, the training process of the table recognition model of the encoder-decoder structure is as follows:
combining a multi-example learning principle to split a plurality of image blocks of each image into a group of multi-example packets, further splitting each example of the multi-example packets and forming an embedding sequence to form tokens similar to NLP (natural language understanding), encoding the tokens by using a Transformer, encoding the tokens by using an outer Transformer, performing corresponding mapping on different combinations of local and global according to the tokens, and performing spatial summation on information of respective reactions; meanwhile, distillation tokens are added to the outer layer sequence of each example, so that the newly added distillation tokens interact with the original tokens through a self-attention layer and learn through back propagation, and the training process is efficient.

The beneficial effect of this embodiment lies in:
in the embodiment, the table in the PDF is identified by setting a rule in advance, and if the rule identification is successful, the image page including the table in the PDF file is directly output (in this case, the output efficiency of the image page is higher); if the rule recognition fails, an image page including a table in the PDF file is output by the PDF recognition model based on yolov5 (in this case, the applicability to the input PDF is better).

According to the above embodiments, a more complete embodiment will be provided in the following from the perspective of flow implementation.
The embodiment provides improvement for the following defects in the prior art:
extraction of table information in PDF is a relatively hot topic, and based on research on prior art schemes, the extraction can be roughly divided into two categories: one is that regular extraction is carried out on the table information in the PDF through programming languages such as Python, Java and the like, and then content extraction is carried out through modes such as built-in packages of the languages and the like, so that the requirements on the types and the like of the PDF and the table information are higher, the extraction coverage rate is lower, and the universality is poorer; the other method is to perform content recognition on the PDF picture table information by using an OCR recognition technology, which solves the problem of low coverage, but the recognition accuracy of the table information and the recognition of the table structure information still need to be improved.
The embodiment aims to provide a method for extracting table information in a PDF, and relates to the technical field of PDF table analysis and the like.
In summary, the embodiment of this example is: firstly, recognizing each page of PDF image of a table in a PDF file by using a target monitoring algorithm yolov5, then training and recognizing a table structure by using a self-developed image recognition algorithm LX-tableOCR, structuring the table structure into an html tag form by using the algorithm, then recognizing and extracting text contents by using a CTPN text recognition algorithm, and finally integrating the text contents and the html structured by the table to output html codes for completely expressing table information.

2) A table structure identification module: in a table structure recognition module, a table structure is trained and fine-tuned by using a self-developed image recognition algorithm LX-tableOCR to obtain a table structure recognition model, and the general principle is as follows: combining a multi-example learning principle to split a plurality of image blocks of each image to form a group of multi-example packets, further splitting each example of the multi-example packets to form an embedding sequence, forming tokens similar to NLPs, encoding the tokens by using a Transformer, encoding the tokens by using an outer Transformer among the examples, performing corresponding mapping according to different combinations of local and global forces of the tokens and performing spatial summation on information of respective reactions; meanwhile, distillation tokens are added to the outer layer sequence of each example, so that the newly added distillation tokens and the original tokens interact through a self-attention layer, and the obtained model is efficiently trained through back propagation learning.
3) A text content identification module: in text content recognition, we use the classical text recognition algorithm CTPN for text content detection.
4) A result integration module: and finally, performing corresponding information integration on an html frame which is generated by reasoning on the table structure model and represents the table structure and the corresponding text content detected by the text content to finally form an html code which represents the table information, and outputting the corresponding html file number according to the table number input by the split PDF table page.
4. Form parsing result verification

3. by applying the Transformer structure in combination with multi-instance learning to PDF form image detection, the image processing is more accurate and efficient by using the double-layer Transformer.
The beneficial effect of this embodiment lies in:
in this embodiment, a method for generating html codes corresponding to rows and columns from PDF table information and then performing table content analysis according to html tag information is obtained by constructing a data set with a table structure corresponding to html and training. The method can accurately extract the corresponding information such as the table structure, the table content and the like of the PDF table information, so that the table information in the PDF can be more accurately applied to downstream tasks.
Further, as shown in FIG. 8, in a preferred embodiment, the LX-tableOCR is used in a manner comprising:
firstly, identifying a table page image in the whole pdf file by using a rule matched with yolov5, then taking the table page image as input of LX-tableOCR, combining a multi-example learning method to finally obtain a synthesized pdf table screenshot and an html structure code (unfilled content) corresponding to the synthesized pdf table screenshot, then taking the synthesized pdf table screenshot and the html structure code as input of a CTPN algorithm to extract content, and finally integrating and filling the html structure and content information into html to obtain a final html file.
