Deep learning for table detection and structure recognition: A survey

Understand

Tables are everywhere, from scientific journals, papers, websites, and newspapers all the way to items we buy at the supermarket.

• Detecting them is thus of utmost importance to automatically understanding the content of a document.
• The performance of table detection has substantially increased thanks to the rapid development of deep learning networks.
• The goals of this survey are to provide a profound comprehension of the major developments in the field of Table Detection, offer insight into the different methodologies, and provide a systematic taxonomy of the different approaches.
