SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires PyMuPDF, requests, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

从论文中提取高质量图片,优先获取 arXiv 源码包中的原始论文图片,避免 PDF 中的商标、Logo 等非核心图片。

Core Features & Use Cases

  • ArXiv-source-first extraction: 优先从 arXiv 源码包中的 pics/、figures/、images/、img/ 目录提取高分辨率图片。
  • PDF fallback: 如源码包不可用,回退到从论文 PDF 中提取图片。
  • Indexing and Output: 将图片保存到 20_Research/Papers/[领域]/[论文标题]/images/ 目录,并生成图片索引 index.md。

Quick Start

运行脚本以对指定论文执行图片提取并生成图片索引。

Frequently Asked Questions about extract-paper-images

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract high-quality images from an arXiv paper?▼

Extracting high-quality images from an arXiv paper is done by prioritizing the arXiv source pack to retrieve original high-resolution figures from directories like pics/ or figures/, avoiding non-core PDF images like logos.

Can I extract paper images from a PDF if the arXiv source is unavailable?▼

Yes, you can extract paper images from a PDF using a fallback extraction strategy powered by PyMuPDF when the arXiv source pack is inaccessible or unavailable for the target paper.

How do I organize extracted paper images and generate an index for notes?▼

Organize extracted paper images by saving them to a structured directory like 20_Research/Papers/[领域]/[论文标题]/images/, then automatically generate an index.md file to integrate the images into your notes.

Does this image extraction workflow handle errors when processing arXiv sources?▼

Yes, the image extraction workflow includes end-to-end error handling and fallback strategies, ensuring successful image acquisition even if issues arise during arXiv source pack downloading or PDF processing.

Do I need PyMuPDF to extract figures from arXiv source packs?▼

PyMuPDF is required for the PDF fallback extraction step to parse and extract images directly from the PDF file when the arXiv source pack is not available for figure retrieval.
