```

### Install Dependencies

The author has not provided requirements.txt file, but `environment.yml` from our conda environment has been uploaded, This file can be used to recreate environment for arabic_layout_model model.


### ArabicDoc Pipeline 

Download `ArabicDoc.cpython-310-x86_64-linux-gnu.so` , `10x_best.pt` and `surya folder` from the Repository.
Place `ArabicDoc.cpython-310-x86_64-linux-gnu.so`, `10x_best.pt` and `surya folder` in same directory (They are dependent on each other).

```python
from ArabicDoc import arabic_layout_model # This import will originate from ArabicDoc.cpython-310-x86_64-linux-gnu.so , which is present in the repo. Also this works with Linux based OS only.
from surya.postprocessing.heatmap import draw_bboxes_on_image
from PIL import Image

image_path = "sample.jpg"
image  = Image.open(image_path)
bboxes = arabic_layout_model(image_path)
plotted_image  = draw_bboxes_on_image(bboxes,image)
```
#### Refer to `benchmark.ipynb` for comparison between Traditional Surya Layout Model and New Layout Model.
