ScanSSD is a single-shot Detector (SSD) for locating math formulas offset from text and embedded in textlines. It uses only visual features for detection: no formatting or typesetting information such as layout, font, or character labels are employed. Given a 600 dpi document page image, a Single Shot Detector (SSD) locates formulas at multiple scales using sliding windows, after which candidate detections are pooled to obtain page-level results.
