Graph Convolutional Networks for Unified Document Line and Paragraph Detection

Summary

This research paper presents a unified approach for detecting lines and paragraphs in documents using graph convolutional networks. The method formulates the task as a two-level clustering problem where text detection boxes (words) are clustered into lines, and lines are clustered into paragraphs, forming a hierarchical tree structure representing document layout. The approach demonstrates high efficiency while achieving state-of-the-art quality for paragraph detection in both public benchmarks and real-world images.

We formulate the task of detecting lines and paragraphs in a document into a unified two-level clustering problem
Given a set of text detection boxes that roughly correspond to words, a text line is a cluster of boxes and a paragraph is a cluster of lines
These clusters form a two-level tree that represents a major part of the layout of a document
We use a graph convolutional network to predict the relations between text detection boxes and then build both levels of clusters from these predictions
