There has been an immense increase in number of scientific publications being published every single day, it has been increasingly difficult to keep up with all the new results being published. In this research, we localized and detected all the plots and tables from documents using deep neural networks. We generated a custom document dataset and manually annotated it to train and evaluate object detection models and their customizability. We used two Single shot multi detector models with base model of MobileNet, RetinaNet and CenterNet model. We trained these models over 10000 epochs on the custom generated dataset. All three models were able to localize and detect the plots and tables with accurately predicted bounding boxes. The results were as follows with CenterNet having the highest mAP score of 92 and highest AR of 93.88 followed by RetinaNet with mAP score of 91.1 and AR of 93.76 lastly, MobileNet based SSD with mAP score of 89.04 and AR of 91.54
