+## Introduction
+
+**PP-DocLayoutV2** is a dedicated lightweight model for layout analysis, focusing specifically on element detection, classification, and reading order
+prediction. 
+
+
+## **Model Architecture** 
+
+PP-DocLayoutV2 is composed of two sequentially connected networks. The first is an RT-DETR-based detection model that performs layout element detection and classification. The detected bounding boxes and class labels are then passed to a subsequent pointer network, which is responsible for ordering these layout elements.

+## Usage    
+
+### Install Dependencies
+
+Install [PaddlePaddle](https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/install/quick) and [PaddleOCR](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR):
+
+```bash
+python -m pip install paddlepaddle-gpu==3.2.0 -i https://www.paddlepaddle.org.cn/packages/stable/cu126/
+python -m pip install -U "paddleocr[doc-parser]"
+python -m pip install https://paddle-whl.bj.bcebos.com/nightly/cu126/safetensors/safetensors-0.6.2.dev0-cp38-abi3-linux_x86_64.whl
+```
+
+> For Windows users, please use WSL or a Docker container.
+
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+Python API usage:
+
+```python
+from paddleocr import LayoutDetection
+
+model = LayoutDetection(model_name="PP-DocLayoutV2")
+output = model.predict("https://paddle-model-ecology.bj.bcebos.com/paddlex/imgs/demo_image/layout.jpg", batch_size=1, layout_nms=True)
+for res in output:
+    res.print()
+    res.save_to_img(save_path="./output/")
+    res.save_to_json(save_path="./output/res.json")
+```
+
+**For more usage details and parameter explanations, see the [documentation](https://www.paddleocr.ai/latest/en/version3.x/module_usage/layout_analysis.html).**
