Use the Brainware Table Extraction (BTE) engine to extract columns and cell data from tables. Further, the engine can interactively train table extraction line-by-line or row-by-row. This engine can learn which lines to extract, which lines to ignore, and which lines to use for learning. The engine learns line types, color codes them, and recognizes when the learnset changes. To use BTE, all documents must have been scanned to a resolution of 300 DPI.
The Generic Table Extraction, included with the BTE, provides additional extraction configuration. For more information, see Configure Generic Table Extraction.
Use the Brainware Table Extraction Engine for the following purposes.
- Reduce the time required to configure data extraction from tables compared to a scripted solution
- Reduce the time required for table verification in Verifier
- Improve table data recognition rates
The learning process for the Brainware Table Extraction engine consists of the following phases.
- Learning lines
- Learning column mapping
