CascadeTabNet: An approach for end to end table detection and structure recognition from image-based documents

Devashish Prasad, Ayan Gadpal, Kshitij Kapadni, Manish Visave, Kavita Sultanpure.

CascadTabNet is an automatic table recognition method for interpretation of tabular data in document images. We present an improved deep learning-based end to end approach for solving both problems of table detection and structure recognition using a single Convolution Neural Network (CNN) model. CascadeTabNet is a Cascade mask Region-based CNN High-Resolution Network (Cascade mask R-CNN HRNet) based model that detects the regions of tables and recognizes the structural body cells from the detected tables at the same time. We evaluate our results on ICDAR 2013, ICDAR 2019 and TableBank public datasets. We achieved 3rd rank in ICDAR 2019 post-competition results for table detection while attaining the best accuracy results for the ICDAR 2013 and TableBank dataset. We also attain the highest accuracy results on the ICDAR 2019 table structure recognition dataset

HOG, LBP and SVM based Traffic Density Estimation at Intersection

Devashish Prasad and Kshitij Kapadni and Ayan Gadpal and Manish Visave and K. Sultanpure

We propose an efficient way to estimate the traffic density on intersection using image processing and machine learning techniques in real time. The proposed methodology takes pictures of traffic at junction to estimate the traffic density. We use Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG), Local Binary Patterns (LBP) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) based approach for traffic density estimation. The strategy is computationally inexpensive and might run efficiently on raspberry pi board
