Model Overview

Description

CACHED (Context-Aware Chart Element Detection) is a state-of-the-art chart element detection model from University at Buffalo. It was published in Document Analysis and Recognition - ICDAR 2023 conference. The code is based on the MMDetection Framework.

CACHED is associated with PaddleOCR to perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR). PaddleOCR is an ultra lightweight OCR system by Baidu.

This model is ready for commercial use.

Third-Party Community Consideration

This model is not owned or developed by NVIDIA. This model has been developed and built to a third-party’s requirements for this application and use case; see links to Non-NVIDIA Context-Aware Chart Element Detection GitHub and PaddleOCR Toolkit.
