Summary: 
Presentation slide data is increasing as one of industry's most important information resources, so that it is necessary to develop a practical usage method for the reutilization of the data on slides. An approach to achieve this is to focus on visual structure information within a slide, because visual structure information is one of the most valuable, easy to understand methods for humans. However, since visual structure information is not explicitly defined in the slide data itself, computers have difficulty comprehending structure information directly. In this paper, we propose a method of extracting structure information from slide information.
