Method and apparatus for recognizing table, device, medium

An electronic device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor;
• wherein, the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
• detecting a table on a target picture, to obtain a candidate table recognition result;
• extracting a merging feature of the candidate table recognition result, and determining a to-be-merged row in the candidate table recognition result based on the merging feature;
• extracting a direction feature of the to-be-merged row, and determining a merging direction of the to-be-merged row based on a pre-trained cell merging direction determination model and the direction feature, wherein the merging direction comprises downward merging and upward merging, wherein the pre-trained cell merging direction determination model is a binary classification model and is configured to determine the merging direction of the to-be-merged row, and an output result of the binary classification model for each to-be-merged row comprises:
• the upward merging, or the downward merging;
• and
• adjusting the candidate table recognition result based on the to-be-merged row and the merging direction of the to-be-merged row, to obtain a target table recognition result.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:

• detecting a table on a target picture, to obtain a candidate table recognition result;
• extracting a merging feature of the candidate table recognition result, and determining a to-be-merged row in the candidate table recognition result based on the merging feature;
• extracting a direction feature of the to-be-merged row, and determining a merging direction of the to-be-merged row based on a pre-trained cell merging direction determination model and the direction feature, wherein the merging direction comprises downward merging and upward merging, wherein the pre-trained cell merging direction determination model is a binary classification model and is configured to determine the merging direction of the to-be-merged row, and an output result of the binary classification model for each to-be-merged row comprises:
• the upward merging, or the downward merging;
• and
• adjusting the candidate table recognition result based on the to-be-merged row and the merging direction of the to-be-merged row, to obtain a target table recognition result.
