One might find themselves overwhelmed by a deluge of paperwork—orders, checks, articles—all containing valuable data locked up in tables. Extracting this information manually is like looking for a needle in a haystack. What if there was a way to free this data with some simple mouse movements?
This is where image to table conversion becomes essential, transforming images into usable data. At AlgoDocs, we pride ourselves on making this process seamless. Sit tight and let the journey to efficient table extraction from images begin!
How We Extract Tables from Images (and How Others Do It Too)
There are specialized programs that help extract table information from scanned files like images and PDFs. But how does this happen?
The All-Seeing Eye of OCR: At the center is Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. It functions like a digital magnifying glass, identifying text within the images frame by frame.
The Mastermind of Layout Analysis: Sophisticated calculations dissect the layout of the image to understand patterns or lines that form the tables’ structure.
