In a hypothetical scenario where we need to extract asset hierarchy directly from PDF-based P&ID documents, does Cognite provide a built-in library to support this? Or would we need to rely on external libraries like PyMuPDF or pdfplumber for data extraction—or even tools like Pytesseract in cases involving scanned images?

Thank you for any guidance on best practices or integrations for this use case!

Two years ago we used the Python library Pytesseract in another project, not related to Cognite. However, we faced some challenges since the names of the elements we needed weren’t laid out in a straight line throughout the document. In some cases, the labels were inside a circle, with each part of the name in a separate semicircle. At that time, the results weren’t satisfactory, with a low success rate.


Thank you, @Elcio Cardoso da Silva . We’re aware of this project, but our main objective here is to determine if there’s any built-in solution within Cognite that we could leverage.

Cognite Team, if you have any insights or suggestions regarding this, please share them with us.

Thanks again!
