Abstract
A method for processing an image that includes a table is provided. The method includes: obtaining a set of edges associated with a cell candidate of the table; determining a longest edge in the set of edges and a first orientation of the longest edge; determining, in the set of edges, an initial edge for a first cell border comprising the first orientation and the longest edge; building the first cell border based on the initial edge, the first orientation, and the set of edges; calculating a second orientation for a second cell border by rotating the first orientation; building the second cell border based on an initial edge for the second cell border and the second orientation; and validating the cell candidate as a cell of the table in response to building the first cell border and building the second cell border.
