ConRTF: Edge-Constrained Boundary Distribution Refinement for Realtime TransFormer Table Structure Recognition
Table Structure Recognition (TSR) aims to recover the row and column layout of tables from document images, a key step in document understanding pipelines. Accurate TSR depends on precise boundary localization: small errors in row or column boundaries can propagate into incorrect cell assignments and structural inconsistencies. Yet detection-based approaches treat table elements as generic objects, ignoring a fundamental property of table layout: rows and columns play structurally distinct roles and their boundaries carry unequal importance. We propose an Edge-constrained Fine-grained Localization loss (EFL) that formalizes this structural asymmetry by encoding table-specific geometric priors into the training objective: row-like elements are supervised with emphasis on their horizontal boundaries, while column-like elements prioritize vertical boundaries. Implemented within a real-time detector with distribution-based boundary refinement (D-FINE), EFL operates during training only and guides boundary refinement toward structurally meaningful adjustments with no change to the inference pipeline. The proposed approach, ConRTF, is also data-efficient, maintaining robust accuracy with as few as 2k--3k annotated tables. Experiments on PubTables-1M and two private datasets show consistent improvements over the optimized baseline and several real-time detectors including RT-DETRv2 and YOLOv10-11, with gains of up to +1.6 GriTS points at equal inference speed.
