1//! Layout detection via the RT-DETR (`docling-layout-heron`) model exported to
2//! ONNX, run with `ort`. A port of docling-ibm-models' `LayoutPredictor`:
3//! resize the page image to 640×640 and rescale to `[0,1]` (the heron processor
4//! has `do_normalize=false`), run the model, then RT-DETR
5//! `post_process_object_detection` (sigmoid → top-k over query×class →
6//! center-to-corners boxes scaled to the page).
