1. PubTabNet

• Data Introduction：The training set of the PubTabNet dataset contains 500,000 images and the validation set contains 9000 images. Part of the image visualization is shown below.

• illustrate：When using this dataset, the CDLA-Permissive protocol is required.

2. TAL Table Recognition Competition Dataset

• Data Introduction：The training set of the TAL table recognition competition dataset contains 16,000 images. The validation set does not give trainable annotations.

3. WTW Chinese scene table dataset

• Data Introduction：The WTW Chinese scene table dataset consists of two parts: table detection and table data. The dataset contains images of two scenes, scanned and photographed. https://github.com/wangwen-whu/WTW-Dataset/blob/main/demo/20210816_210413.gif
