Abstract

A system for converting an image of an unstructured table into a structured table is provided. The system may comprise a memory storing machine readable instructions. The system may include a processor to receive an image of a unstructured table and convert the image of the unstructured table into a structured table. Converting the image of the unstructured table into the structured table may include providing cell mapping and low confidence determination to highlight potentially misconverted content. The low confidence determination may be based on a first input and a second input. The processor may export the structured table, upon validation, to an application that supports structured tables.
