MODIFIED Requirements

Requirement: OCR Track Gap Filling with Raw OCR Regions

The system SHALL detect and fill gaps in PP-StructureV3 output by supplementing with Raw OCR text regions when significant content loss is detected.

Scenario: Gap filling activates when coverage is low

  • GIVEN an OCR track processing task
  • WHEN PP-StructureV3 outputs elements that cover less than 70% of Raw OCR text regions
  • THEN the system SHALL activate gap filling
  • AND identify Raw OCR regions not covered by any PP-StructureV3 element
  • AND supplement these regions as TEXT elements in the output

Scenario: Coverage is determined by IoA (Intersection over Area)

  • GIVEN a Raw OCR text region with bounding box
  • WHEN checking if the region is covered by PP-StructureV3
  • THEN the region SHALL be considered covered if IoA (intersection area / OCR box area) exceeds the type-specific threshold
  • AND IoA SHALL be used instead of IoU because it correctly measures "small box contained in large box" relationship
  • AND regions not meeting the IoA criterion SHALL be marked as uncovered

Scenario: Element-type-specific IoA thresholds are applied

  • GIVEN a Raw OCR region being evaluated for coverage
  • WHEN comparing against PP-StructureV3 elements of different types
  • THEN the system SHALL apply different IoA thresholds:
    • TEXT, TITLE, HEADER, FOOTER: IoA > 0.6 (tolerates boundary errors)
    • TABLE: IoA > 0.1 (strict filtering to preserve table structure)
    • FIGURE, IMAGE: IoA > 0.8 (preserves text within figures like axis labels)
  • AND a region is considered covered if it meets the threshold for ANY overlapping element

Scenario: Only TEXT elements are supplemented

  • GIVEN uncovered Raw OCR regions identified for supplementation
  • WHEN PP-StructureV3 has detected TABLE, IMAGE, FIGURE, FLOWCHART, HEADER, or FOOTER elements
  • THEN the system SHALL NOT supplement regions that overlap with these structural elements
  • AND only supplement regions as TEXT type to preserve structural integrity

Scenario: Supplemented regions meet confidence threshold

  • GIVEN Raw OCR regions to be supplemented
  • WHEN a region has confidence score below 0.3
  • THEN the system SHALL skip that region
  • AND only supplement regions with confidence >= 0.3

Scenario: Deduplication uses IoA instead of IoU

  • GIVEN a Raw OCR region being considered for supplementation
  • WHEN the region has IoA > 0.5 with any existing PP-StructureV3 TEXT element
  • THEN the system SHALL skip that region to prevent duplicate text
  • AND the original PP-StructureV3 element SHALL be preserved

Scenario: Reading order is recalculated after gap filling

  • GIVEN supplemented elements have been added to the page
  • WHEN assembling the final element list
  • THEN the system SHALL recalculate reading order for the entire page
  • AND sort elements by y0 coordinate (top to bottom) then x0 (left to right)
  • AND ensure logical document flow is maintained

Scenario: Coordinate alignment with ocr_dimensions

  • GIVEN Raw OCR processing may involve image resizing
  • WHEN comparing Raw OCR bbox with PP-StructureV3 bbox
  • THEN the system SHALL use ocr_dimensions to normalize coordinates
  • AND ensure both sources reference the same coordinate space
  • AND prevent coverage misdetection due to scale differences

Scenario: Supplemented elements have complete metadata

  • GIVEN a Raw OCR region being added as supplemented element
  • WHEN creating the DocumentElement
  • THEN the element SHALL include page_number
  • AND include confidence score from Raw OCR
  • AND include original bbox coordinates
  • AND optionally include source indicator for debugging

Requirement: Gap Filling Configuration

The system SHALL provide configurable parameters for gap filling behavior.

Scenario: Gap filling can be disabled via configuration

  • GIVEN gap_filling_enabled is set to false in configuration
  • WHEN OCR track processing runs
  • THEN the system SHALL skip all gap filling logic
  • AND output only PP-StructureV3 results as before

Scenario: Coverage threshold is configurable

  • GIVEN gap_filling_coverage_threshold is set to 0.8
  • WHEN PP-StructureV3 coverage is 75%
  • THEN the system SHALL activate gap filling
  • AND supplement uncovered regions

Scenario: IoA thresholds are configurable per element type

  • GIVEN custom IoA thresholds configured:
    • gap_filling_ioa_threshold_text: 0.6
    • gap_filling_ioa_threshold_table: 0.1
    • gap_filling_ioa_threshold_figure: 0.8
    • gap_filling_dedup_ioa_threshold: 0.5
  • WHEN evaluating coverage and deduplication
  • THEN the system SHALL use the configured values
  • AND apply them consistently throughout gap filling process

Scenario: Confidence threshold is configurable

  • GIVEN gap_filling_confidence_threshold is set to 0.5
  • WHEN supplementing Raw OCR regions
  • THEN the system SHALL only include regions with confidence >= 0.5
  • AND filter out lower confidence regions

Scenario: Boundary shrinking reduces edge duplicates

  • GIVEN gap_filling_shrink_pixels is set to 1
  • WHEN evaluating coverage with IoA
  • THEN the system SHALL shrink OCR bounding boxes inward by 1 pixel on each side
  • AND this reduces false "uncovered" detection at region boundaries

ADDED Requirements

Requirement: Use PP-StructureV3 Internal OCR Results

The system SHALL preferentially use PP-StructureV3's internal OCR results (overall_ocr_res) instead of running a separate Raw OCR inference.

Scenario: Extract overall_ocr_res from PP-StructureV3

  • GIVEN PP-StructureV3 processing completes
  • WHEN the result contains json['res']['overall_ocr_res']
  • THEN the system SHALL extract OCR regions from:
    • dt_polys: detection box polygons
    • rec_texts: recognized text strings
    • rec_scores: confidence scores
  • AND convert these to the standard TextRegion format for gap filling

Scenario: Skip separate Raw OCR when overall_ocr_res is available

  • GIVEN gap_filling_use_overall_ocr is true (default)
  • WHEN PP-StructureV3 result contains overall_ocr_res
  • THEN the system SHALL NOT execute separate PaddleOCR inference
  • AND use the extracted overall_ocr_res as the OCR source
  • AND this reduces total inference time by approximately 50%

Scenario: Fallback to separate Raw OCR when needed

  • GIVEN gap_filling_use_overall_ocr is false OR overall_ocr_res is missing
  • WHEN gap filling is activated
  • THEN the system SHALL execute separate PaddleOCR inference as before
  • AND use the separate OCR results for gap filling
  • AND this maintains backward compatibility

Scenario: Coordinate consistency is guaranteed

  • GIVEN overall_ocr_res is extracted from PP-StructureV3
  • WHEN comparing with PP-StructureV3 layout elements
  • THEN both SHALL use the same coordinate system
  • AND no additional coordinate alignment is needed
  • AND this prevents scale mismatch issues
