document-processing Specification
Purpose
TBD - created by archiving change dual-track-document-processing. Update Purpose after archive.
Requirements
Requirement: Dual-track Processing
The system SHALL support two distinct processing tracks for documents: OCR track for scanned/image documents and Direct extraction track for editable PDFs.
Scenario: Process scanned PDF through OCR track
- WHEN a scanned PDF is uploaded
- THEN the system SHALL detect it requires OCR
- AND route it through PaddleOCR PP-StructureV3 pipeline
- AND return results in UnifiedDocument format
Scenario: Process editable PDF through direct extraction
- WHEN an editable PDF with extractable text is uploaded
- THEN the system SHALL detect it can be directly extracted
- AND route it through PyMuPDF extraction pipeline
- AND return results in UnifiedDocument format without OCR
Scenario: Auto-detect processing track
- WHEN a document is uploaded without explicit track specification
- THEN the system SHALL analyze the document type and content
- AND automatically select the optimal processing track
- AND include the selected track in processing metadata
Requirement: Document Type Detection
The system SHALL provide intelligent document type detection to determine the optimal processing track.
Scenario: Detect editable PDF
- WHEN analyzing a PDF document
- THEN the system SHALL check for extractable text content
- AND return confidence score for editability
- AND recommend "direct" track if text coverage > 90%
Scenario: Detect scanned document
- WHEN analyzing an image or scanned PDF
- THEN the system SHALL identify lack of extractable text
- AND recommend "ocr" track for processing
- AND configure appropriate OCR models
Scenario: Detect Office documents
- WHEN analyzing .docx, .xlsx, .pptx files
- THEN the system SHALL identify Office format
- AND route to OCR track for initial implementation
- AND preserve option for future direct Office extraction
Requirement: Unified Document Model
The system SHALL use a standardized UnifiedDocument model as the common output format for both processing tracks.
Scenario: Generate UnifiedDocument from OCR
- WHEN OCR processing completes
- THEN the system SHALL convert PP-StructureV3 results to UnifiedDocument
- AND preserve all element types, coordinates, and confidence scores
- AND maintain reading order and hierarchical structure
Scenario: Generate UnifiedDocument from direct extraction
- WHEN direct extraction completes
- THEN the system SHALL convert PyMuPDF results to UnifiedDocument
- AND preserve text styling, fonts, and exact positioning
- AND extract tables with cell boundaries and content
Scenario: Consistent output regardless of track
- WHEN processing completes through either track
- THEN the output SHALL conform to UnifiedDocument schema
- AND include processing_track metadata field
- AND support identical downstream operations (PDF generation, translation)
Requirement: Enhanced OCR with Full PP-StructureV3
The system SHALL utilize the full capabilities of PP-StructureV3, extracting all 23 element types from parsing_res_list, with proper handling of visual elements and table coordinates.
Scenario: Extract comprehensive document structure
- WHEN processing through OCR track
- THEN the system SHALL use page_result.json['parsing_res_list']
- AND extract all element types including headers, lists, tables, figures
- AND preserve layout_bbox coordinates for each element
Scenario: Maintain reading order
- WHEN extracting elements from PP-StructureV3
- THEN the system SHALL preserve the reading order from parsing_res_list
- AND assign sequential indices to elements
- AND support reordering for complex layouts
Scenario: Extract table structure
- WHEN PP-StructureV3 identifies a table
- THEN the system SHALL extract cell content and boundaries
- AND validate cell_boxes coordinates against page boundaries
- AND apply fallback detection for invalid coordinates
- AND preserve table HTML for structure
- AND extract plain text for translation
Scenario: Extract visual elements with paths
- WHEN PP-StructureV3 identifies visual elements (IMAGE, FIGURE, CHART, DIAGRAM)
- THEN the system SHALL preserve saved_path for each element
- AND include image dimensions and format
- AND enable image embedding in output PDF
Requirement: Structure-Preserving Translation Foundation
The system SHALL maintain document structure and layout information to support future translation features.
Scenario: Preserve coordinates for translation
- WHEN processing any document
- THEN the system SHALL retain bbox coordinates for all text elements
- AND calculate space requirements for text expansion/contraction
- AND maintain element relationships and groupings
Scenario: Extract translatable content
- WHEN processing tables and lists
- THEN the system SHALL extract plain text content
- AND maintain mapping to original structure
- AND preserve formatting markers for reconstruction
Scenario: Support layout adjustment
- WHEN preparing for translation
- THEN the system SHALL identify flexible vs fixed layout regions
- AND calculate maximum text expansion ratios
- AND preserve non-translatable elements (logos, signatures)
Requirement: Generate UnifiedDocument from direct extraction
The system SHALL convert PyMuPDF results to UnifiedDocument with correct table cell merging.
Scenario: Extract tables with cell merging
- WHEN direct extraction encounters a table
- THEN the system SHALL use PyMuPDF find_tables() API
- AND extract cell content with correct rowspan/colspan
- AND preserve merged cell boundaries
- AND skip placeholder cells covered by merges
Scenario: Filter decoration images
- WHEN extracting images from PDF
- THEN the system SHALL filter images smaller than minimum area threshold
- AND exclude covering/redaction images
- AND preserve meaningful content images
Scenario: Preserve text styling with image handling
- WHEN direct extraction completes
- THEN the system SHALL convert PyMuPDF results to UnifiedDocument
- AND preserve text styling, fonts, and exact positioning
- AND extract tables with cell boundaries, content, and merge info
- AND include only meaningful images in output
