    - **New Model**: MinerU 2.0 integrates our latest small-parameter, high-performance multimodal document parsing model, achieving end-to-end high-speed, high-precision document understanding.
      - **Small Model, Big Capabilities**: With parameters under 1B, yet surpassing traditional 72B-level vision-language models (VLMs) in parsing accuracy.
      - **Multiple Functions in One**: A single model covers multilingual recognition, handwriting recognition, layout analysis, table parsing, formula recognition, reading order sorting, and other core tasks.
      - **Ultimate Inference Speed**: Achieves peak throughput exceeding 10,000 tokens/s through `sglang` acceleration on a single NVIDIA 4090 card, easily handling large-scale document processing requirements.
      - **Online Experience**: You can experience this model online on our Hugging Face demo: [![HuggingFace](https://img.shields.io/badge/VLM_Demo_on_HuggingFace-yellow.svg?logo=data:image/png;base64, &labelColor=white)](https://huggingface.co/spaces/opendatalab/mineru2)
    - **Incompatible Changes Notice**: To improve overall architectural rationality and long-term maintainability, this version contains some incompatible changes:
      - Python package name changed from `magic-pdf` to `mineru`, and the command-line tool changed from `magic-pdf` to `mineru`. Please update your scripts and command calls accordingly.
      - For modular system design and ecosystem consistency considerations, MinerU 2.0 no longer includes the LibreOffice document conversion module. If you need to process Office documents, we recommend converting them to PDF format through an independently deployed LibreOffice service before proceeding with subsequent parsing operations.

  <summary>History Log</summary>
  <details>
  <summary>2025/05/24 Release 1.3.12</summary>
  <ul>
      <li>Added support for PPOCRv5 models, updated <code>ch_server</code> model to <code>PP-OCRv5_rec_server</code>, and <code>ch_lite</code> model to <code>PP-OCRv5_rec_mobile</code> (model update required)
        <ul>
          <li>In testing, we found that PPOCRv5(server) has some improvement for handwritten documents, but has slightly lower accuracy than v4_server_doc for other document types, so the default ch model remains unchanged as <code>PP-OCRv4_server_rec_doc</code>.</li>
          <li>Since PPOCRv5 has enhanced recognition capabilities for handwriting and special characters, you can manually choose the PPOCRv5 model for Japanese-Traditional Chinese mixed scenarios and handwritten documents</li>
          <li>You can select the appropriate model through the lang parameter <code>lang='ch_server'</code> (Python API) or <code>--lang ch_server</code> (command line):
            <ul>
              <li><code>ch</code>: <code>PP-OCRv4_server_rec_doc</code> (default) (Chinese/English/Japanese/Traditional Chinese mixed/15K dictionary)</li>
              <li><code>ch_server</code>: <code>PP-OCRv5_rec_server</code> (Chinese/English/Japanese/Traditional Chinese mixed + handwriting/18K dictionary)</li>
              <li><code>ch_lite</code>: <code>PP-OCRv5_rec_mobile</code> (Chinese/English/Japanese/Traditional Chinese mixed + handwriting/18K dictionary)</li>
              <li><code>ch_server_v4</code>: <code>PP-OCRv4_rec_server</code> (Chinese/English mixed/6K dictionary)</li>
              <li><code>ch_lite_v4</code>: <code>PP-OCRv4_rec_mobile</code> (Chinese/English mixed/6K dictionary)</li>
            </ul>
          </li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li>Added support for handwritten documents through optimized layout recognition of handwritten text areas
        <ul>
          <li>This feature is supported by default, no additional configuration required</li>
          <li>You can refer to the instructions above to manually select the PPOCRv5 model for better handwritten document parsing results</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li>The <code>huggingface</code> and <code>modelscope</code> demos have been updated to versions that support handwriting recognition and PPOCRv5 models, which you can experience online</li>
  </ul>
  </details>
  
  <details>
  <summary>2025/04/29 Release 1.3.10</summary>
  <ul>
      <li>Added support for custom formula delimiters, which can be configured by modifying the <code>latex-delimiter-config</code> section in the <code>magic-pdf.json</code> file in your user directory.</li>
  </ul>
  </details>
  
  <details>
  <summary>2025/04/27 Release 1.3.9</summary>
  <ul>
      <li>Optimized formula parsing functionality, improved formula rendering success rate</li>
  </ul>
  </details>
  
  <details>
  <summary>2025/04/23 Release 1.3.8</summary>
  <ul>
      <li>The default <code>ocr</code> model (<code>ch</code>) has been updated to <code>PP-OCRv4_server_rec_doc</code> (model update required)
        <ul>
          <li><code>PP-OCRv4_server_rec_doc</code> is trained on a mixture of more Chinese document data and PP-OCR training data based on <code>PP-OCRv4_server_rec</code>, adding recognition capabilities for some traditional Chinese characters, Japanese, and special characters. It can recognize over 15,000 characters and improves both document-specific and general text recognition abilities.</li>
          <li><a href="https://paddlepaddle.github.io/PaddleX/latest/module_usage/tutorials/ocr_modules/text_recognition.html#_3">Performance comparison of PP-OCRv4_server_rec_doc/PP-OCRv4_server_rec/PP-OCRv4_mobile_rec</a></li>
          <li>After verification, the <code>PP-OCRv4_server_rec_doc</code> model shows significant accuracy improvements in Chinese/English/Japanese/Traditional Chinese in both single language and mixed language scenarios, with comparable speed to <code>PP-OCRv4_server_rec</code>, making it suitable for most use cases.</li>
          <li>In some pure English scenarios, <code>PP-OCRv4_server_rec_doc</code> may have word adhesion issues, while <code>PP-OCRv4_server_rec</code> performs better in these cases. Therefore, we've kept the <code>PP-OCRv4_server_rec</code> model, which users can access by adding the parameter <code>lang='ch_server'</code> (Python API) or <code>--lang ch_server</code> (command line).</li>

  </details>
  
  <details>
  <summary>2025/01/10 1.0.1 released</summary>
  <p>This is our first official release, where we have introduced a completely new API interface and enhanced compatibility through extensive refactoring, as well as a brand new automatic language identification feature:</p>
  <ul>
    <li><strong>New API Interface</strong>
      <ul>
        <li>For the data-side API, we have introduced the Dataset class, designed to provide a robust and flexible data processing framework. This framework currently supports a variety of document formats, including images (.jpg and .png), PDFs, Word documents (.doc and .docx), and PowerPoint presentations (.ppt and .pptx). It ensures effective support for data processing tasks ranging from simple to complex.</li>
        <li>For the user-side API, we have meticulously designed the MinerU processing workflow as a series of composable Stages. Each Stage represents a specific processing step, allowing users to define new Stages according to their needs and creatively combine these stages to customize their data processing workflows.</li>
      </ul>
    </li>
    <li><strong>Enhanced Compatibility</strong>
      <ul>
        <li>By optimizing the dependency environment and configuration items, we ensure stable and efficient operation on ARM architecture Linux systems.</li>
        <li>We have deeply integrated with Huawei Ascend NPU acceleration, providing autonomous and controllable high-performance computing capabilities. This supports the localization and development of AI application platforms in China. <a href="https://github.com/opendatalab/MinerU/blob/master/docs/README_Ascend_NPU_Acceleration_zh_CN.md">Ascend NPU Acceleration</a></li>
      </ul>
    </li>
    <li><strong>Automatic Language Identification</strong>
      <ul>
        <li>By introducing a new language recognition model, setting the <code>lang</code> configuration to <code>auto</code> during document parsing will automatically select the appropriate OCR language model, improving the accuracy of scanned document parsing.</li>
      </ul>
    </li>
  </ul>
  </details>

The memory requirement for enabling all acceleration features except table acceleration (layout/formula/OCR) has been reduced from 16GB to 8GB, and the memory requirement for enabling all acceleration features has been reduced from 24GB to 10GB.</li>
    <li>Optimized configuration file feature switches, adding an independent formula detection switch to significantly improve speed and parsing results when formula detection is not needed.</li>
    <li>Integrated <a href="https://github.com/opendatalab/PDF-Extract-Kit">PDF-Extract-Kit 1.0</a>:
      <ul>
        <li>Added the self-developed <code>doclayout_yolo</code> model, which speeds up processing by more than 10 times compared to the original solution while maintaining similar parsing effects, and can be freely switched with <code>layoutlmv3</code> via the configuration file.</li>
        <li>Upgraded formula parsing to <code>unimernet 0.2.1</code>, improving formula parsing accuracy while significantly reducing memory usage.</li>
        <li>Due to the repository change for <code>PDF-Extract-Kit 1.0</code>, you need to re-download the model. Please refer to <a href="https://github.com/opendatalab/MinerU/blob/master/docs/how_to_download_models_en.md">How to Download Models</a> for detailed steps.</li>

# MinerU

## Project Introduction

MinerU is a tool that converts PDFs into machine-readable formats (e.g., markdown, JSON), allowing for easy extraction into any format.
MinerU was born during the pre-training process of [InternLM](https://github.com/InternLM/InternLM). We focus on solving symbol conversion issues in scientific literature and hope to contribute to technological development in the era of large models.
Compared to well-known commercial products, MinerU is still young. If you encounter any issues or if the results are not as expected, please submit an issue on [issue](https://github.com/opendatalab/MinerU/issues) and **attach the relevant PDF**.

- Remove headers, footers, footnotes, page numbers, etc., to ensure semantic coherence.
- Output text in human-readable order, suitable for single-column, multi-column, and complex layouts.
- Preserve the structure of the original document, including headings, paragraphs, lists, etc.
- Extract images, image descriptions, tables, table titles, and footnotes.
- Automatically recognize and convert formulas in the document to LaTeX format.
- Automatically recognize and convert tables in the document to HTML format.
- Automatically detect scanned PDFs and garbled PDFs and enable OCR functionality.
- OCR supports detection and recognition of 84 languages.
- Supports multiple output formats, such as multimodal and NLP Markdown, JSON sorted by reading order, and rich intermediate formats.
- Supports various visualization results, including layout visualization and span visualization, for efficient confirmation of output quality.
- Supports running in a pure CPU environment, and also supports GPU(CUDA)/NPU(CANN)/MPS acceleration
- Compatible with Windows, Linux, and Mac platforms.

## Quick Start

> [!WARNING]
> **Pre-installation Notice—Hardware and Software Environment Support**
>
> To ensure the stability and reliability of the project, we only optimize and test for specific hardware and software environments during development. This ensures that users deploying and running the project on recommended system configurations will get the best performance with the fewest compatibility issues.
>
> By focusing resources on the mainline environment, our team can more efficiently resolve potential bugs and develop new features.
>
> In non-mainline environments, due to the diversity of hardware and software configurations, as well as third-party dependency compatibility issues, we cannot guarantee 100% project availability. Therefore, for users who wish to use this project in non-recommended environments, we suggest carefully reading the documentation and FAQ first. Most issues already have corresponding solutions in the FAQ. We also encourage community feedback to help us gradually expand support.

##### Switch to ModelScope Source

```bash
mineru -p <input_path> -o <output_path> --source modelscope
```

Or set environment variable:

```bash
export MINERU_MODEL_SOURCE=modelscope
mineru -p <input_path> -o <output_path>
```

##### Using Local Models

###### 1. Download Models Locally

```bash
mineru-models-download --help
```

Or use interactive command-line tool to select models:

```bash
mineru-models-download
```

After download, model paths will be displayed in current terminal and automatically written to `mineru.json` in user directory.

###### 2. Parse Using Local Models

```bash
mineru -p <input_path> -o <output_path> --source local
```

Or enable via environment variable:

```bash
export MINERU_MODEL_SOURCE=local
mineru -p <input_path> -o <output_path>
```

# TODO

- [x] Reading order based on the model  
- [x] Recognition of `index` and `list` in the main text  
- [x] Table recognition
- [x] Heading Classification
- [ ] Code block recognition in the main text
- [ ] [Chemical formula recognition](docs/chemical_knowledge_introduction/introduction.pdf)
- [ ] Geometric shape recognition

# Known Issues

- Reading order is determined by the model based on the spatial distribution of readable content, and may be out of order in some areas under extremely complex layouts.
- Vertical text is not supported.
- Tables of contents and lists are recognized through rules, and some uncommon list formats may not be recognized.
- Code blocks are not yet supported in the layout model.
- Comic books, art albums, primary school textbooks, and exercises cannot be parsed well.
- Table recognition may result in row/column recognition errors in complex tables.
- OCR recognition may produce inaccurate characters in PDFs of lesser-known languages (e.g., diacritical marks in Latin script, easily confused characters in Arabic script).
- Some formulas may not render correctly in Markdown.

# License Information

[LICENSE.md](LICENSE.md)

Currently, some models in this project are trained based on YOLO. However, since YOLO follows the AGPL license, it may impose restrictions on certain use cases. In future iterations, we plan to explore and replace these with models under more permissive licenses to enhance user-friendliness and flexibility.
