Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and processes for automatically determining a layout of text within an image that makes sense from a semantic perspective. In certain embodiments, the systems disclosed herein receive bounding box information relating to one or more bounding boxes that surround text within the image. The systems compare the received bounding box information to determine a clustering of bounding boxes that have an above threshold probability of including words that when read in order make sense semantically. For example, systems herein can determine whether words in a cluster correspond to a line of text.
