Document Layout Analysis Example

Document Layout Analysis is used to identify and extract the layout structure of documents, including text blocks, images, tables, and other elements.

DocLayout-YOLO

Introduction

DocLayout-YOLO is a real-time and robust layout detection model for diverse documents, based on YOLO-v10. This model is enriched with diversified document pre-training and structural optimization tailored for layout detection.

Usage

  1. Import images (Ctrl+I) or a video (Ctrl+O) into X-AnyLabeling.
  2. Select and load the DocLayout-YOLO model.
  3. Click Run (i) to process the current image. After checking the result, press Ctrl+B to process all images.

PP-DocLayoutV3

Introduction

PP-DocLayoutV3 is specifically engineered to handle non-planar document images. It can directly predict multi-point bounding boxes for layout elements—as opposed to standard two-point boxes—and determine logical reading orders for skewed and curved surfaces within a single forward pass, significantly reducing cascading errors.

This model is an essential component of PaddleOCR-VL-1.5, providing crucial layout analysis for the high-precision parsing of various real-world documents.

Supported Labels

PP-DocLayoutV3 supports 25 layout element categories:

CategoryLabels
Document Structuredoc_title, paragraph_title, header, footer, content, reference, reference_content
Text Elementstext, vertical_text, aside_text, abstract, footnote, vision_footnote
Visual Elementsimage, chart, figure_title, header_image, footer_image, seal
Math & Formulasinline_formula, display_formula, formula_number, algorithm
Tablestable
Othernumber

Installation

You'll need to get X-AnyLabeling-Server up and running first. Check out the installation guide for the details. Make sure you're running at least v0.0.7 of the server and v3.3.9 of the X-AnyLabeling client, otherwise you might run into compatibility issues.

Note

PP-DocLayoutV3 requires the latest transformers development branch. Install it with:

pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git

For more details, see the official model page.

Once that's done, head over to configs/models.yaml and enable pp_doclayout_v3. There's an example config you can reference if you're not sure how to set it up.

You can tweak the settings in pp_doclayout_v3.yaml to fit your needs.

Usage

Launch the X-AnyLabeling client, press Ctrl+A or click the AI button in the left menu bar to open the auto-labeling panel. In the model dropdown list, select Remote-Server, then choose PP-DocLayoutV3.
