この能力とは何か

Takes a document — a PDF page image or a scan — and outputs structured content: paragraphs, heading levels, tables, figure captions, and the correct reading order. Unlike OCR it does more than transcribe: it decides what each block is and which comes first. Unlike information extraction it first rebuilds the layout skeleton rather than targeting specific fields.

技術的にどう実現するか

A typical pipeline segments the page into regions — text blocks, headings, tables, figures — with detection or segmentation, then handles each: text blocks go through recognition, tables recover row-column and merged-cell structure, and formulas and charts are modelled separately. A layout model predicts block order, and multi-column or cross-column content needs dedicated sorting. Another route hands the whole page to a multimodal model that emits structured markup directly.

限界と難しさ

  • Cross-page tables and merged cells are hard to recover, misaligning rows or losing hierarchy
  • Handwritten notes, stamps and stickers disrupt segmentation and cause missed content
  • Skew, perspective and binding shadows in scans make column and table boundaries misjudged
