There is no table detection or recognition in OCRopus yet.  Doing table
recognition well is quite tricky, and there are a number of different
methods for it.

Table detection, table recognition, math detection, math recognition, and
similar tasks are on our to do list, but our primary focus right now is on
book OCR.

If you want to get started with table recognition, here are some papers:

You can use the character and word bounding boxes that OCRopus yields as a
starting point.
