A Generating System for Creating a Training Set to Convert Table Images into HTML Files

In our study, a software system has been developed for automatic generation of a training set in "image to HTML" pairs for table detection problem. In the system, table images with different designs reflecting real-world scenarios are randomly generated depending on various parameters. Depending on the parameters used, HTML files are first generated and then these HTML files are converted into table images using a web browser. Then a training set is created by matching these table images with appropriate HTML texts. This training set can be a useful tool for academic and industrial researchers and can be used in automatic document conversion processes.
