Of course there are, using algorithms more sophisticated than this, too. I think most of the software mentioned in the thread does this already, to greater or lesser degrees of success. There are also dedicated tools like
ebook-tidy, and so on.

My aim was to finally generate HTML and then use the chapter titles to create a TOC. I got halfway there  but considering how clever tools like Calibre are, it surprised me that this wasn't done automatically.

Calibre provides a place to enter a regular expressions for deleting headers and footers IIRC. pdfreflow attempts to do this automatically; but this is a difficult thing to get right, and I think such software naturally tends to err towards not deleting something when in doubt as opposed to deleting it.
