Introduction

This repository hosts the PaddleOCR document helper models — page-orientation classification, dewarping, and table-structure recognition — for the React Native ExecuTorch library, fused into one multi-method .pte per backend for the ExecuTorch runtime (XNNPACK, CoreML, Vulkan). These are document pre/post-processing companions to react-native-executorch-pp-ocrv6 — not an OCR model on their own.

If you'd like to run these models in your own ExecuTorch runtime, refer to the official documentation for setup instructions.

Repository layout

<backend>/config.json                    # per-backend spec
<backend>/paddle_helpers_<backend>_<precision>.pte

Methods

The fused .pte exposes four methods (the .pte is pure tensor→tensor; the client does normalization, argmax/softmax, grid-sampling and the decode loop). All methods are fixed-shape — the exact input shapes below are also declared in config.json, and since nothing here is dynamic the model carries no get_model_schema overrides; a client reads the signatures straight from ExecuTorch's MethodMeta.

method	source model	input	output	purpose
`orientation`	PP-LCNet doc_ori	`[1,3,224,224]`	`logits[1,4]`	page rotation 0 / 90 / 180 / 270° (argmax)
`dewarp`	UVDoc	`[1,3,712,488]`	`grid[1,2,45,31]`	sampling grid → `grid_sample` to unwarp a curved/folded page
`table_encode`	SLANet_plus	`[1,3,488,488]`	`feat[1,256,96]`	encode a cropped table image (run once)
`table_decode_step`	SLANet_plus decoder	`(feat[1,256,96], hidden[1,256], onehot[1,50])`	`(probs[1,50], hidden[1,256])`	one autoregressive structure-token step

The table decode loop is data-dependent, so it stays on the client: run table_encode once, then call table_decode_step per token, feeding the previous step's hidden state back in and the chosen token back as a one-hot. The first step takes an all-zero one-hot — the exported decoder embeds its own start token.

Backends, precision & latency (warm)

backend	target	precision	size	orientation / table_encode / dewarp / decode_step
`xnnpack`	CPU	dynamic int8 (qd8 — lossless; static int8 is lossy on the regressors)	~28 MB	2.0 / 30 / 209 / 0.21 ms (Galaxy S24)
`coreml`	Apple ANE	weight-only int8	11.9 MB	0.3 / 1.4 / 4.7 / 0.13 ms (Apple M-series ANE)
`vulkan`	Android GPU	fp16, except the table path → XNNPACK (mixed-delegate)	23 MB	6.0 / 17 / 66 / 0.21 ms (Galaxy S24)

The GPU wins on the heavy CNNs (dewarp 3×); the tiny orientation and the dispatch-bound autoregressive table_decode_step are faster on CPU — hence the Vulkan build routes the table path to XNNPACK.
table_decode_step is always computed at full precision on CPU (autoregressive stability).

Compatibility

If you intend to use these models outside of React Native ExecuTorch, make sure your runtime is compatible with the ExecuTorch version used to export the .pte files. For more details, see the compatibility note in the ExecuTorch GitHub repository. If you work with React Native ExecuTorch, the library constants guarantee compatibility with the runtime used behind the scenes.

These models were exported with ExecuTorch 1.3.1 and no forward compatibility is guaranteed; older runtimes may not load them.
