Efficient Detection for Top Part of Research Paper with Layout Index

The detection of elements in top part of research paper is the key problem in layout analysis, because these elements are often used as the search items by user. This paper provides a index-based method for auto detection of top part from research papers. Different from existing methods, an index is used for detecting items from top part of research paper. Experiments show the advantage of our method over existing methods, and future work is also described in the paper.
