## 1. Environment Preparation
### 1.1 Install PaddlePaddle

> If you do not have a Python environment, please refer to [Environment Preparation](./environment_en.md).

- If you have CUDA 9 or CUDA 10 installed on your machine, please run the following command to install

  ```bash
  python3 -m pip install paddlepaddle-gpu -i https://mirror.baidu.com/pypi/simple
  ```

- If you have no available GPU on your machine, please run the following command to install the CPU version

  ```bash
  python3 -m pip install paddlepaddle -i https://mirror.baidu.com/pypi/simple
  ```

For more software version requirements, please refer to the instructions in [Installation Document](https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/install/quick) for operation.

### 1.2 Install PaddleOCR Whl Package

```bash
# Install paddleocr, version 2.6 is recommended
pip3 install "paddleocr>=2.6.0.3"

# Install the image direction classification dependency package paddleclas (if you do not use the image direction classification, you can skip it)
pip3 install paddleclas>=2.4.3
```

<a name="215"></a>

#### 2.1.5 Key Information Extraction

Key information extraction does not currently support use by the whl package. For detailed usage tutorials, please refer to: [inference document](./inference_en.md).

<a name="216"></a>
#### 2.1.6 layout recovery(PDF to Word)

Two layout recovery methods are provided, For detailed usage tutorials, please refer to: [Layout Recovery](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/blob/dygraph/ppstructure/recovery/README.md).

- PDF parse
- OCR

Recovery by using PDF parse (only support pdf as input):

```bash
paddleocr --image_dir=ppstructure/recovery/UnrealText.pdf --type=structure --recovery=true --use_pdf2docx_api=true
```

Recovery by using OCR：

```bash
paddleocr --image_dir=ppstructure/docs/table/1.png --type=structure --recovery=true --lang='en'
```

### 2.3 Result description

The return of PP-Structure is a list of dicts, the example is as follows:

<a name="231"></a>
#### 2.3.1 layout analysis + table recognition
```shell
[
  {   'type': 'Text',
      'bbox': [34, 432, 345, 462],
      'res': ([[36.0, 437.0, 341.0, 437.0, 341.0, 446.0, 36.0, 447.0], [41.0, 454.0, 125.0, 453.0, 125.0, 459.0, 41.0, 460.0]],
                [('Tigure-6. The performance of CNN and IPT models using difforen', 0.90060663), ('Tent  ', 0.465441)])
  }
]
```
Each field in dict is described as follows:

| field | description  |
| --- |---|
|type| Type of image area. |
|bbox| The coordinates of the image area in the original image, respectively [upper left corner x, upper left corner y, lower right corner x, lower right corner y]. |
|res| OCR or table recognition result of the image area. <br> table: a dict with field descriptions as follows: <br>&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; `html`: html str of table.<br>&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; In the code usage mode, set return_ocr_result_in_table=True whrn call can get the detection and recognition results of each text in the table area, corresponding to the following fields: <br>&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; `boxes`: text detection boxes.<br>&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; `rec_res`: text recognition results.<br> OCR: A tuple containing the detection boxes and recognition results of each single text. |

After the recognition is completed, each image will have a directory with the same name under the directory specified by the `output` field. Each table in the image will be stored as an excel, and the picture area will be cropped and saved. The filename of  excel and picture is their coordinates in the image.
  ```
  /output/table/1/
    └─ res.txt
    └─ [454, 360, 824, 658].xlsx        table recognition result
    └─ [16, 2, 828, 305].jpg            picture in Image
    └─ [17, 361, 404, 711].xlsx        table recognition result
  ```
