## 1. Introduction
CascadTabNet is an automatic table recognition method for interpretation of tabular data in document images. We present an improved deep learning-based end to end approach for solving both problems of table detection and structure recognition using a single Convolution Neural Network (CNN) model. CascadeTabNet is a Cascade mask Region-based CNN High-Resolution Network (Cascade mask R-CNN HRNet) based model that detects the regions of tables and recognizes the structural body cells from the detected tables at the same time. We evaluate our results on ICDAR 2013, ICDAR 2019 and TableBank public datasets. We achieved 3rd rank in ICDAR 2019 post-competition results for table detection while attaining the best accuracy results for the ICDAR 2013 and TableBank dataset. We also attain the highest accuracy results on the ICDAR 2019 table structure recognition dataset.
## 2. Setup
Models are developed in Pytorch based MMdetection framework (Version 1.2)
pip install -q mmcv terminaltables
git clone --branch v1.2.0 'https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection.git'
cd "mmdetection"
pip install -r "/content/mmdetection/requirements/optional.txt"
python setup.py install
python setup.py develop
pip install -r {"requirements.txt"}
pip install pillow==6.2.1
pip install mmcv==0.4.3
Code is developed under following library dependencies
PyTorch = 1.4.0
Torchvision = 0.5.0
Cuda = 10.0
pip install torch==1.4.0+cu100 torchvision==0.5.0+cu100 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html
**If you are using Google Colaboratory (Colab), Then you need add**
```
from google.colab.patches import cv2_imshow
```
and replace all the `cv2.imshow` with `cv2_imshow`

Checkpoints of the Models we have trained :
## 7. Datasets
1) End to End Table Recognition Dataset
We manually annotated some of the ICDAR 19 table competition (cTDaR) dataset images for cell detection in the borderless tables. More details about the dataset are mentioned in the paper.

2) General Table Detection Dataset (ICDAR 19 + Marmot + Github)
We manually corrected the annotations of Marmot and Github and combined them with ICDAR 19 dataset to create a general and robust dataset.

## 8. Training
You may refer this tutorial for training Mmdetection models on your custom datasets in colab.
You may refer this script to convert your Pascal VOC XML annotation files to a single COCO Json file.
## 9. Docker
The docker image of this project can be found at docker hub
It currently contains three models from model zoo. For details you can check the readme file at the docker hub.
