An Automatic System for Extracting Figures and Captions in Biomedical PDF Documents
2011
2011 IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine
Figures in biomedical articles often constitute direct evidence of experimental results. Image analysis methods can be coupled with text-based methods to improve knowledge discovery. However, automatically harvesting figures along with their associated captions from full-text articles remains challenging. In this paper, we present an automatic system for robustly harvesting figures from biomedical literature. Our approach relies on the idea that the PDF specification of the document layout can
