Developing tool to extract table from images

[Dilawar Singh]

Dear all,

I am developing a tool to extract a table from an image. It is a big undertaking but I hope to release a beta version soon.

The input to the tool is a PNG/JPG/PDF image and output is a CSV/ODT/XLS table.

I have some simple tables extracted from PDF. If there are formats which govt uses often and people often need/want to digitize them, I'd like to have some samples. I am thinking of census data, GIS data etc..

There is no plan to support multi-page tables. I can use some advice on the OCR backend (I am using pytesseract from google for now).

best,

    Dilawar

If you can test on these

daily bulletins to automate tabulation, that will be very helpful.
