Form Detection
ProcessingForm detection is the process of identifying form fields, labels, and input regions in documents (e.g., tax forms, applications, surveys). It helps extraction map labeled fields to schema fields and improves accuracy for key-value pairs.
In DocLD
DocLD can detect form-like structure during parsing and layout analysis. Extraction then uses that structure, plus schema definitions and instructions, to fill fields such as "Name," "Date," or "Amount." Form detection is especially useful for zero-shot extraction when documents follow consistent layouts.
Related Concepts
Form detection builds on layout analysis and supports extraction and schema-based structured data. It complements table extraction for semi-structured documents.
