Table Extraction

Identifying and extracting tabular data from documents while preserving structure.

Definition

Table extraction is the process of identifying tables within documents and extracting their content while preserving row, column, and cell relationships. Tables present significant challenges because their visual structure does not always match their logical structure, and formatting varies widely. AI-powered table extraction can handle complex tables with merged cells, nested headers, and spanning elements that template-based approaches cannot.
