用信号处理方法从掩码中精准提取表格边框,提升低质图像识别效果。

Post-Processing Mask-Based Table Segmentation for Structural Coordinate Extraction

  • 将行列边界建模为一维信号,通过高斯卷积与阈值筛选降噪
  • 在PubLayNet-1M上使CASA指标从67%提升至76%
  • 适合处理模糊、低分辨率的扫描文档,兼容多种下游任务

从扫描文档和数字档案中提取结构化数据在文档图像分析中至关重要。尽管已有诸多方法用于检测表格结构并提取单元格内容,但在低分辨率或噪声图像中准确识别表格分割边界(行与列)仍具挑战性。现实中表格数据常不完整或退化,限制了基于Transformer的方法对噪声输入的适应性。掩码边缘检测技术在该条件下更具鲁棒性,因其敏感度可通过阈值调节;然而现有方法通常直接对图像应用掩码,导致易受噪声干扰、分辨率下降或计算开销过高。本文提出一种新型多尺度信号处理方法,从表格掩码中检测边缘。将行与列的过渡视为一维信号,采用方差递增的高斯卷积进行处理,再经统计阈值抑制噪声,同时保留稳定的结构边缘。检测到的信号峰值映射回图像坐标以获取精确分割边界。实验表明,将该方法应用于列边缘检测,在使用TableNet与PyTesseract OCR时,使布局感知评估指标Cell-Aware Segmentation Accuracy(CASA)在PubLayNet-1M基准上从67%提升至76%。该方法通过零填充与缩放策略对分辨率变化具有鲁棒性,生成适配下游分析的优化结构化表格输出。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Structured data extraction from tables plays a crucial role in document image analysis for scanned documents and digital archives. Although many methods have been proposed to detect table structures and extract cell contents, accurately identifying table segment boundaries (rows and columns) remains challenging, particularly in low-resolution or noisy images. In many real-world scenarios, table data are incomplete or degraded, limiting the adaptability of transformer-based methods to noisy inputs. Mask-based edge detection techniques have shown greater robustness under such conditions, as their sensitivity can be adjusted through threshold tuning; however, existing approaches typically apply masks directly to images, leading to noise sensitivity, resolution loss, or high computational cost. This paper proposes a novel multi-scale signal-processing method for detecting table edges from table masks. Row and column transitions are modeled as one-dimensional signals and processed using Gaussian convolution with progressively increasing variances, followed by statistical thresholding to suppress noise while preserving stable structural edges. Detected signal peaks are mapped back to image coordinates to obtain accurate segment boundaries. Experimental results show that applying the proposed approach to column edge detection improves Cell-Aware Segmentation Accuracy (CASA) a layout-aware metric evaluating both textual correctness and correct cell placement from 67% to 76% on the PubLayNet-1M benchmark when using TableNet with PyTesseract OCR. The method is robust to resolution variations through zero-padding and scaling strategies and produces optimized structured tabular outputs suitable for downstream analysis.
