I have different type of invoice files, I want to find table in each invoice file. In this table position is not constant. So I go for image processing. First I tried to convert my invoice into image, then I found contour based on table borders, Finally I can catch table position. For the task I used below code.
with Image(page) as page_image:
page_image.alpha_channel = False #eliminates transperancy
img_buffer=np.asarray(bytearray(page_image.make_blob()), dtype=np.uint8)
img = cv2.imdecode(img_buffer, cv2.IMREAD_UNCHANGED)
ret, thresh = cv2.threshold(img, 127, 255, 0)
im2, contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(thresh, cv2.RETR_TREE, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
margin=[]
for contour in contours:
# get rectangle bounding contour
[x, y, w, h] = cv2.boundingRect(contour)
# Don't plot small false positives that aren't text
if (w >thresh1 and h> thresh2):
margin.append([x, y, x + w, y + h])
#data cleanup on margin to extract required position values.
In this code thresh1, thresh2 i'll update based on the file.
So using this code I can successfully read positions of tables in images, using this position i'll work on my invoice pdf file. For example
Sample 1:
Sample 2:
Output:
Sample 1:
Sample 2:
Sample 3:
But, now I have a new format which doesn't have any borders but it's a table. How to solve this? Because my entire operation depends only on borders of the tables. But now I don't have a table borders. How can I achieve this? I don't have any idea to move out from this problem. My question is, Is there any way to find position based on table structure?.
For example My problem input looks like below:
I would like to find its position like below: 
How can I solve this? It is really appreciable to give me an idea to solve the problem.
Thanks in advance.
