DocLayout-YOLO: Enhancing Document Layout Analysis through Diverse Synthetic Data and Global-to-Local Adaptive Perception

Official PyTorch implementation of DocLayout-YOLO.

Abstract

We present DocLayout-YOLO, a real-time and robust layout detection model for diverse documents, based on YOLO-v10. This model is enriched with diversified document pre-training and structural optimization tailored for layout detection. In the pre-training phase, we introduce Mesh-candidate BestFit, viewing document synthesis as a two-dimensional bin packing problem, and create a large-scale diverse synthetic document dataset, DocSynth-300K. In terms of model structural optimization, we propose a module with Global-to-Local Controllability for precise detection of document elements across varying scales.

Quick Start

Online Demo is now available. For local development, follow steps below:

1. Environment Setup

Follow these steps to set up your environment:

conda create -n doclayout_yolo python=3.10
conda activate doclayout_yolo
pip install -e .

Note: If you only need the package for inference, you can simply install it via pip:

pip install doclayout-yolo

2. Prediction

You can make predictions using either a script or the SDK:

• Script

  Run the following command to make a prediction using the script:

  python demo.py --model path/to/model --image-path path/to/image
  

• SDK

  Here is an example of how to use the SDK for prediction:

  import cv2
  from doclayout_yolo import YOLOv10
  
  # Load the pre-trained model
  model = YOLOv10("path/to/provided/model")
  
  # Perform prediction
  det_res = model.predict(
      "path/to/image",   # Image to predict
      imgsz=1024,        # Prediction image size
      conf=0.2,          # Confidence threshold
      device="cuda:0"    # Device to use (e.g., 'cuda:0' or 'cpu')
  )
  
  # Annotate and save the result
  annotated_frame = det_res[0].plot(pil=True, line_width=5, font_size=20)
  cv2.imwrite("result.jpg", annotated_frame)
  

We provide model fine-tuned on DocStructBench for prediction, which is capable of handing various document types. Model can be downloaded from here and example images can be found under assets/example.

Note: For PDF content extraction, please refer to PDF-Extract-Kit and MinerU.

Note: Thanks to NielsRogge, DocLayout-YOLO now supports implementation directly from 🤗Huggingface, you can load model as follows:

filepath = hf_hub_download(repo_id="juliozhao/DocLayout-YOLO-DocStructBench", filename="doclayout_yolo_docstructbench_imgsz1024.pt")
model = YOLOv10(filepath)

or directly load using from_pretrained:

model = YOLOv10.from_pretrained("juliozhao/DocLayout-YOLO-DocStructBench")

more details can be found at this PR.

Note: Thanks to luciaganlulu, DocLayout-YOLO can perform batch inference and prediction. Instead of passing single image into model.predict in demo.py, pass a list of image path. Besides, due to batch inference is not implemented before YOLOv11, you should manually change batch_size in here.

DocSynth300K Dataset

Data Download

Use following command to download dataset(about 113G):

from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
# Download DocSynth300K
snapshot_download(repo_id="juliozhao/DocSynth300K", local_dir="./docsynth300k-hf", repo_type="dataset")
# If the download was disrupted and the file is not complete, you can resume the download
snapshot_download(repo_id="juliozhao/DocSynth300K", local_dir="./docsynth300k-hf", repo_type="dataset", resume_download=True)

Data Formatting & Pre-training

If you want to perform DocSynth300K pretraining, using format_docsynth300k.py to convert original .parquet format into YOLO format. The converted data will be stored at ./layout_data/docsynth300k.

python format_docsynth300k.py

To perform DocSynth300K pre-training, use this command. We default use 8GPUs to perform pretraining. To reach optimal performance, you can adjust hyper-parameters such as imgsz, lr according to your downstream fine-tuning data distribution or setting.

Note: Due to memory leakage in YOLO original data loading code, the pretraining on large-scale dataset may be interrupted unexpectedly, use --pretrain last_checkpoint.pt --resume to resume the pretraining process.

Training and Evaluation on Public DLA Datasets

Data Preparation

• specify the data root path

Find your ultralytics config file (for Linux user in $HOME/.config/Ultralytics/settings.yaml) and change datasets_dir to project root path.

• Download prepared yolo-format D4LA and DocLayNet data from below and put to ./layout_data:

Dataset	Download
D4LA	link
DocLayNet	link

the file structure is as follows:

./layout_data
├── D4LA
│   ├── images
│   ├── labels
│   ├── test.txt
│   └── train.txt
└── doclaynet
    ├── images
    ├── labels
    ├── val.txt
    └── train.txt

Training and Evaluation

Training is conducted on 8 GPUs with a global batch size of 64 (8 images per device). The detailed settings and checkpoints are as follows:

Dataset	Model	DocSynth300K Pretrained?	imgsz	Learning rate	Finetune	Evaluation	AP50	mAP	Checkpoint
D4LA	DocLayout-YOLO	✗	1600	0.04	command	command	81.7	69.8	checkpoint
D4LA	DocLayout-YOLO	✓	1600	0.04	command	command	82.4	70.3	checkpoint
DocLayNet	DocLayout-YOLO	✗	1120	0.02	command	command	93.0	77.7	checkpoint
DocLayNet	DocLayout-YOLO	✓	1120	0.02	command	command	93.4	79.7	checkpoint

The DocSynth300K pretrained model can be downloaded from here. Change checkpoint.pt to the path of model to be evaluated during evaluation.
