Introduction

This is the model weights for PP-DocLayoutv3 in safetensors format. Get PaddlePaddle weights at PP-DocLayoutV3

PP-DocLayoutV3 is specifically engineered to handle non-planar document images. It can directly predict multi-point bounding boxes for layout elements—as opposed to standard two-point boxes—and determine logical reading orders for skewed and curved surfaces within a single forward pass, significantly reducing cascading errors. This model is an essential component of PaddleOCR-VL-1.5, providing crucial layout analysis for the high-precision parsing of various real-world documents in PaddleOCR-VL.

Model Usage

import requests
from PIL import Image
from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, AutoModelForObjectDetection

model_path = "PaddlePaddle/PP-DocLayoutV3_safetensors"
model = AutoModelForObjectDetection.from_pretrained(model_path)
image_processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained(model_path)

image = Image.open(requests.get("https://paddle-model-ecology.bj.bcebos.com/paddlex/imgs/demo_image/layout_demo.jpg", stream=True).raw)
inputs = image_processor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")

outputs = model(**inputs)
results = image_processor.post_process_object_detection(outputs, target_sizes=[image.size[::-1]])
for result in results:
    for idx, (score, label_id, box, polygon_points) in enumerate(zip(result["scores"], result["labels"], result["boxes"], result["polygon_points"])):
        score, label = score.item(), label_id.item()
        box = [round(i, 2) for i in box.tolist()]
        print(f"Order {idx + 1}: {model.config.id2label[label]}, score: {score:.2f}, box: {box}, polygon_points: {polygon_points}")
