🚀 Quick Start

Installation

pip install onnxruntime opencv-python numpy pillow torch torchvision

Basic Usage

import onnxruntime as ort
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image
import cv2

# Load TableFormer model
model_path = "ds4sd_docling_models_tableformer_accurate_jpqd.onnx"  # or fast variant
session = ort.InferenceSession(model_path)

def preprocess_table_image(image_path):
    """Preprocess table image for TableFormer model"""
    # Load image
    image = Image.open(image_path).convert('RGB')
    image_array = np.array(image)
    
    # TableFormer typically expects specific preprocessing
    # This is a simplified example - actual preprocessing may vary
    
    # Resize and normalize (adjust based on model requirements)
    processed = cv2.resize(image_array, (224, 224))  # Example size
    processed = processed.astype(np.float32) / 255.0
    
    # Add batch dimension and transpose if needed
    processed = np.expand_dims(processed, axis=0)
    processed = np.transpose(processed, (0, 3, 1, 2))  # NHWC to NCHW if needed
    
    return processed

def recognize_table_structure(image_path, model_session):
    """Recognize table structure using TableFormer"""
    
    # Preprocess image
    input_tensor = preprocess_table_image(image_path)
    
    # Get model input name
    input_name = model_session.get_inputs()[0].name
    
    # Run inference
    outputs = model_session.run(None, {input_name: input_tensor})
    
    return outputs

# Example usage
table_image_path = "table_image.jpg"
results = recognize_table_structure(table_image_path, session)
print("Table structure recognition completed!")
