PDF Signature Extraction System
Automated extraction of handwritten Chinese signatures from PDF documents using hybrid VLM + Computer Vision approach.
Quick Start
Step 1: Extract Pages from CSV
cd /Volumes/NV2/pdf_recognize
source venv/bin/activate
python extract_pages_from_csv.py
Step 2: Extract Signatures
python extract_signatures_hybrid.py
Documentation
- PROJECT_DOCUMENTATION.md - Complete project history, all approaches tested, detailed results
- README_page_extraction.md - Page extraction documentation
- README_hybrid_extraction.md - Hybrid signature extraction documentation
Current Performance
Test Dataset: 5 PDF pages
- Signatures expected: 10
- Signatures found: 7
- Precision: 100% (no false positives)
- Recall: 70%
Key Features
✅ Hybrid Approach: VLM name extraction + CV detection + VLM verification
✅ Name-Based: Signatures saved as signature_周寶蓮.png
✅ No False Positives: Name-specific verification filters out dates, text, stamps
✅ Duplicate Prevention: Only one signature per person
✅ Handles Both: PDFs with/without text layer
