Hi
how can we recognize the table in the image which has not a strict table but table like pattern. for example please find the attachment in that image we have a table like structure we need to draw a bounding box around it. can you please help me with that how can we approach this.

is this the opencv version conflict problem ?

how could i install cv_algorithms

Dear Uli,
Thank you for this great this package, it's made my life much easier. I am using it to recover information on how Peru's congresspersons' voted for any given law. I'm planning to publish this info to hopefully make the next elections more transparent. This is how the documents' fingerprint looks:

I've been able to extract the information for some pages. However, in others i've failed. If you look closely at the fingerprint the last column of row 21 is labeled as row 22. Do you have any recommendation on how to ensure table recognition chooses the correct x, y coordinates? Thank you so much!

Right now, all I get is an image out.png that shows the cells and their grid numbers (shown below).

Is there a way to programmatically get the table structure (rows, cols, spans if any) and bounding boxes of each cells? I would like to then perform OCR and extract the table data from the image.

Thanks in advance. :)

I run module python test-otr.py 0110_099.png and get this error

How can I restore a table with python-docx based on this image?
