Abstract
Disclosed systems and methods generate page segmented documents from unstructured vector graphics documents. The page segmentation application executing on a computing device receives as input an unstructured vector graphics document. The application generates an element proposal for each of many areas on a page of the input document tentatively identified as being page elements. The page segmentation application classifies each of the element proposals into one of a plurality of defined type of categories of page elements. The page segmentation application may further refine at least one of the element proposals and select a final element proposal for each element within the unstructured vector document. One or more of the page segmentation steps may be performed using a neural network.
