PDF Parsing
Some notes about the header for those not familiar with Org Mode:
The property `header-args` with :session \*Python\* will cause all evaluated
source code blocks to be evaluated in the buffer named "\*Python\*", which is the
default buffer name for the buffer connected to an inferior python process. This
is useful for interactive development. It gives you a REPL to work with rather
than having to constantly evaluate source code blocks and view the results
output to try any change.
Another note along those lines is that when source code blocks are evaluated,
some unnecessary output is printed in the *Python* buffer. Adding :results
output to a code block will minimize that noise.

Converting PDFs to images
Not all pdfs need to be sent through OCR to extract the text content. If you can click and drag to highlight text in the pdf, then the tools in this library probably aren't necessary.
This code calls out to pdfimages from Poppler.

This answer from opencv.org was heavily referenced while writing the code around table detection: https://answers.opencv.org/question/63847/how-to-extract-tables-from-an-image/.
It's much easier to OCR a table when the table is the only thing in the image. This code detects tables in an image and returns a list of images of just the tables, no surrounding text or noise.
The blurring, thresholding, and line detection is used here as well as later on for cell extraction. They are good techniques for cleaning an image up in a way that makes things like shape detection more accurate.
def find_tables(image):
<<blur>>
<<threshold>>

contours, heirarchy = cv2.findContours(
mask, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE,
)
MIN_TABLE_AREA = 1e5
contours = [c for c in contours if cv2.contourArea(c) > MIN_TABLE_AREA]
perimeter_lengths = [cv2.arcLength(c, True) for c in contours]
epsilons = [0.1 * p for p in perimeter_lengths]
approx_polys = [cv2.approxPolyDP(c, e, True) for c, e in zip(contours, epsilons)]
bounding_rects = [cv2.boundingRect(a) for a in approx_polys]
# The link where a lot of this code was borrowed from recommends an
# additional step to check the number of "joints" inside this bounding rectangle.
# A table should have a lot of intersections. We might have a rectangular image
# here though which would only have 4 intersections, 1 at each corner.
# Leaving that step as a future TODO if it is ever necessary.
images = [image[y:y+h, x:x+w] for x, y, w, h in bounding_rects]
return imagesimport cv2
<<detect-table>>
image_filename = "resources/examples/example-page.png"
image = cv2.imread(image_filename, cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)
image = find_tables(image)[0]
cv2.imwrite("resources/examples/example-table.png", image)
"resources/examples/example-table.png"
Improving accuracy
It's likely that some images will contain tables that aren't accurately recognized by the code above. The code will then need to be made more robust. But how will we know that changes to the code don't break the detection of tables that were previously detected?
It might be good to add some type of test suite in the future that contains a spec that matches a pdf with the pages and pixel coordinates of the detected tables. The coordinates would need to have a range. Something like "example-1.pdf, page-2.png, [450:470, 200:210, 800:820, 1270:1290]" where the elements of the list are valid x, y, w, h ranges. So the test will pass if if the x, y, width and height are anywhere in that range.
OCR tables
Find the bounding box of each cell in the table. Run tesseract on each cell. Print a comma seperated output.
We'll start with an image shown at the end of the previous section.
Blur
Blurring helps to make noise less noisy so that the overall structure of an image is more detectable.
That gray row at the bottom is kind of noisy. If we don't somehow clean it up, OpenCV will detect all sorts of odd shapes in there and it will throw off our cell detection.
Cleanup can be accomplished with a blur followed by some thresholding.
BLUR_KERNEL_SIZE = (17, 17)
STD_DEV_X_DIRECTION = 0
STD_DEV_Y_DIRECTION = 0
blurred = cv2.GaussianBlur(image, BLUR_KERNEL_SIZE, STD_DEV_X_DIRECTION, STD_DEV_Y_DIRECTION)image = ~cv2.imread("resources/examples/example-table.png", cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)
<<blur>>
cv2.imwrite("resources/examples/example-table-blurred.png", blurred)
"resources/examples/example-table-blurred.png"
Threshold
We've got a bunch of pixels that are gray. Thresholding will turn them all either black or white. Having all black or white pixels lets us do morphological transformations like erosion and dilation.
MAX_COLOR_VAL = 255
BLOCK_SIZE = 15
SUBTRACT_FROM_MEAN = -2
img_bin = cv2.adaptiveThreshold(
~blurred,
MAX_COLOR_VAL,
cv2.ADAPTIVE_THRESH_MEAN_C,
cv2.THRESH_BINARY,
BLOCK_SIZE,
SUBTRACT_FROM_MEAN,
)<<threshold>>
cv2.imwrite("resources/examples/example-table-thresholded.png", img_bin)
"resources/examples/example-table-thresholded.png"
Finding the vertical and horizontal lines of the table
Note: There's a wierd issue with the results of the example below when it's evaluated as part of an export or a full-buffer evaluation. If you evaluate the example by itself, it looks the way it's intended. If you evaluate it as part of an entire buffer evaluation, it's distorted.
vertical = horizontal = img_bin.copy()
SCALE = 5
image_width, image_height = horizontal.shape
horizontal_kernel = cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT, (int(image_width / SCALE), 1))
horizontally_opened = cv2.morphologyEx(img_bin, cv2.MORPH_OPEN, horizontal_kernel)
vertical_kernel = cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT, (1, int(image_height / SCALE)))
vertically_opened = cv2.morphologyEx(img_bin, cv2.MORPH_OPEN, vertical_kernel)
horizontally_dilated = cv2.dilate(horizontally_opened, cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT, (40, 1)))
vertically_dilated = cv2.dilate(vertically_opened, cv2.getStructuringElement(cv2.MORPH_RECT, (1, 60)))
mask = horizontally_dilated + vertically_dilated<<lines-of-table>>
cv2.imwrite("resources/examples/example-table-lines.png", mask)
"resources/examples/example-table-lines.png"
Finding the contours
Blurring and thresholding allow us to find the lines. Opening the lines allows us to find the contours.
An "Opening" is an erosion followed by a dilation. Great examples and descriptions of each morphological operation can be found at https://docs.opencv.org/trunk/d9/d61/tutorial_py_morphological_ops.html">https://docs.opencv.org/trunk/d9/d61/tutorial_py_morphological_ops.html.
Contours can be explained simply as a curve joining all the continuous points (along the boundary), having same color or intensity. The contours are a useful tool for shape analysis and object detection and recognition.
We can search those contours to find rectangles of certain size.
To do that, we can use OpenCV's approxPolyEP function. It takes as arguments
the contour (list of contiguous points), and a number representing how different
the polygon perimeter length can be from the true perimeter length of the
contour. 0.1 (10%) seems to be a good value. The difference in perimeter
length between a 4-sided polygon and a 3-sided polygon is greater than 10% and
the difference between a 5+ sided polygon and a 4-sided polygon is less than
10%. So a 4-sided polygon is the polygon with the fewest sides that leaves the
difference in perimeter length within our 10% threshold.
Then we just get the bounding rectangle of that polygon and we have our cells!
We might need to do a little more filtering of those rectangles though. We might have accidentally found some noise such as another image on the page or a title header bar or something. If we know our cells are all within a certain size (by area of pixels) then we can filter out the junk cells by removing cells above/below certain sizes.
contours, heirarchy = cv2.findContours(
mask, cv2.RETR_TREE, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE,
)
perimeter_lengths = [cv2.arcLength(c, True) for c in contours]
epsilons = [0.05 * p for p in perimeter_lengths]
approx_polys = [cv2.approxPolyDP(c, e, True) for c, e in zip(contours, epsilons)]
# Filter out contours that aren't rectangular. Those that aren't rectangular
# are probably noise.
approx_rects = [p for p in approx_polys if len(p) == 4]
bounding_rects = [cv2.boundingRect(a) for a in approx_polys]
# Filter out rectangles that are too narrow or too short.
MIN_RECT_WIDTH = 40
MIN_RECT_HEIGHT = 10
bounding_rects = [
r for r in bounding_rects if MIN_RECT_WIDTH < r[2] and MIN_RECT_HEIGHT < r[3]
]
# The largest bounding rectangle is assumed to be the entire table.
# Remove it from the list. We don't want to accidentally try to OCR
# the entire table.
largest_rect = max(bounding_rects, key=lambda r: r[2] * r[3])
bounding_rects = [b for b in bounding_rects if b is not largest_rect]
cells = [c for c in bounding_rects]Sorting the bounding rectangles
We want to process these from left-to-right, top-to-bottom.
I've thought of a straightforward algorithm for it, but it could probably be made more efficient.
We'll find the most rectangle with the most top-left corner. Then we'll find all of the rectangles that have a center that is within the top-y and bottom-y values of that top-left rectangle. Then we'll sort those rectangles by the x value of their center. We'll remove those rectangles from the list and repeat.
def cell_in_same_row(c1, c2):
c1_center = c1[1] + c1[3] - c1[3] / 2
c2_bottom = c2[1] + c2[3]
c2_top = c2[1]
return c2_top < c1_center < c2_bottom
orig_cells = [c for c in cells]
rows = []
while cells:
first = cells[0]
rest = cells[1:]
cells_in_same_row = sorted(
[
c for c in rest
if cell_in_same_row(c, first)
],
key=lambda c: c[0]
)
row_cells = sorted([first] + cells_in_same_row, key=lambda c: c[0])
rows.append(row_cells)
cells = [
c for c in rest
if not cell_in_same_row(c, first)
]
# Sort rows by average height of their center.
def avg_height_of_center(row):
centers = [y + h - h / 2 for x, y, w, h in row]
return sum(centers) / len(centers)
rows.sort(key=avg_height_of_center)To test if this code works, let's try sorting the bounding rectangles and numbering them from right to left, top to bottom.

Cropping each cell to the text
OCR with Tesseract works best when there is about 10 pixels of white border around the text.
Our bounding rectangles may have picked up some stray pixels from the horizontal and vertical lines of the cells in the table. It's probobly just a few pixels, much fewer than the width of the text. If that's the case, then we can remove that noise with a simple open morph.
Once the stray border pixels have been removed, we can expand our border using
copyMakeBorder.

OCR each cell
If we cleaned up the images well enough, we might get some accurate OCR!
There is plenty that could have gone wrong along the way.
The first step to troubleshooting is to view the intermediate images and see if there's something about your image that is obviously abnormal, like some really thick noise or a wrongly detected table.
If everything looks reasonable but the OCR is doing something like turning a period into a comma, then you might need to do some custom Tesseract training.

The following code lets us specify a size for images when they are exported to html.
Org supports specifying an export size for an image by putting the #+ATTR_HTML:
:width 100px before the image. But since our images are in a results drawer, we
need a way for our results drawer to do that for us automatically.
Adding #+ATTR_HTML after the beginning of the result block introduces a new
problem. Org-babel no longer recognizes the result as a result block and doesn't
remove it when a src block is re-evaluated, so we end up just appending new
results on each evaluation.
There is nothing configurable that will tell org-babel to remove our line. But
we can define a function to do some cleanup and then add it as a before hook
with advice-add.
(concat "#+ATTR_HTML: :width " width " :height " height "\n[[file:" text "]]")(defun remove-attributes-from-src-block-result (&rest args)
(let ((location (org-babel-where-is-src-block-result))
(attr-regexp "[ ]*#\\+ATTR.*$"))
(when location
(save-excursion
(goto-char location)
(when (looking-at (concat org-babel-result-regexp ".*$"))
(next-line)
(while (looking-at attr-regexp)
(kill-whole-line)))))))
