Hiro-Layout: Document Layout Analysis for Patent and Technical PDFs

English | 简体中文

![Hugging Face Spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces/PatSnap/Hiro-SmartDoc)

Hiro-Layout is a document layout analysis model for patent and technical PDF pages. It detects and classifies page regions such as text, titles, headers, footers, tables, formulas, chemical structures, figures, captions, search reports, bibliographies, and other patent-specific layout elements.

Highlights

—Patent-focused layout understanding: covers common patent PDF regions and patent-specific structures.
—Technical document coverage: evaluated on both patent PDFs and NPD PDFs.
—Fine-grained taxonomy: 25 layout categories across figure, text, and complex document elements.

Online Demo

Hiro-Layout is used by Hiro-Smart-Doc for full document layout analysis and OCR. You can try the hosted demo on Hugging Face Spaces:

PatSnap/Hiro-SmartDoc

Usage

The current model artifact is an ONNX export:

text

layout_model/RT-DETR_25.onnx

Download the repository from the Hugging Face Hub and load the ONNX model with ONNXRuntime:

python

from pathlib import Path

from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
import onnxruntime as ort

repo_dir = snapshot_download("PatSnap/Hiro-Layout")
model_path = Path(repo_dir) / "layout_model" / "RT-DETR_25.onnx"

session = ort.InferenceSession(str(model_path))
print("inputs:", [i.name for i in session.get_inputs()])
print("outputs:", [o.name for o in session.get_outputs()])

Use labels.json for the 25-class label mapping.

Limitations

—Layout predictions may be inaccurate on low-resolution scans, heavily rotated pages, handwritten documents, unusual patent formats, or unseen page templates.
—Small objects and sparse categories can have unstable metrics when the evaluation set has very few labels.
—The model should not be used as the sole source of truth for legal, compliance, filing, archival, or customer-facing workflows without human review.
—Users are responsible for ensuring they have the right to process and share any documents used with this model.
