# form-field-v1-small · _commercial_

**A compact, high-accuracy form-field detector** — locates `Text`, `Choice` (checkbox/radio), and `Signature`
widgets on **empty, filled, and handwritten** document pages. 8.9M params, ~36 MB; a strong accuracy/size
balance for on-device and edge GPU.

The runnable weights are commercial and are not downloadable from this repository — this public page is the
product specification and scorecard. Prefer a fully open model? See
[`form-field-v1-nano`](https://huggingface.co/nutrientdocs/form-field-v1-nano) (Apache-2.0). Need the highest
accuracy? See [`form-field-v1-medium`](https://huggingface.co/nutrientdocs/form-field-v1-medium).

## Results

COCO **mAP50-95** on the [`form-field-v1-benchmark`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nutrientdocs/form-field-v1-benchmark),
one shared pycocotools scorer across all models.

| Model | Empty | Filled | Handwritten |
|---|---|---|---|
| FFDetr (baseline) | 0.461 | 0.170 | 0.225 |
| **form-field-v1-small** (this model) | **0.456** | **0.716** | **0.680** |
| FFDNet-L (baseline) | 0.373 | 0.285 | 0.285 |

Per-class on empty: Text 0.550 / Choice 0.556 / Signature 0.263. **Throughput:** ~11 pages/sec on a laptop CPU
(ONNX Runtime). Full breakdowns on the
[leaderboard](https://huggingface.co/spaces/nutrientdocs/form-field-v1-leaderboard).

## Output

```json
[ { "box": [82, 164, 336, 41], "type": "Text", "score": 0.91 } ]
```

`box` is `[x, y, w, h]` in page pixels; `type` ∈ `Text`, `ChoiceButton`, `Signature`. Served as a single-file
ONNX graph (fp32 + fp16), verified to reproduce the benchmark (fp32 mAP 0.6161 / fp16 0.6134 over all variants).

## Intended use and limits

- Empty, filled, and handwritten digital/scanned forms are all supported.
- On-device / edge GPU target; ~11 pages/sec CPU, faster on GPU.

## License & data

Weights are offered under a commercial Nutrient license. Evaluation is public and reproducible via
[`form-field-v1-benchmark`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nutrientdocs/form-field-v1-benchmark). The FFDetr
