Genericity in graphics recognition algorithms

Abstract

We present the new version of the Graphics Recognition Module developed within the Machine Drawing Understanding System (MDUS) for the graphics recognition contest, to be held during the second IAPR Workshop on Graphics Recognition, Nancy, France, 1997. A generic integrated graphics recognition algorithm is adapted to meet the requirements of the contest: straight and circular, solid and dashed lines, horizontal and vertical text, and filled and hollow arrowheads. We present detailed algorithms for recognizing these graphic objects, which are all based on the same generic recognition algorithm.

Integrating 2D and 3D Digital Plant Information Towards Automatic Generation of Digital Twins

“…[15] proposed a hybrid algorithm for the same task. [16] presented a method for the recognition of both text and basic parametrical forms in documents. [17], [18] addressed the recognition of text from drawings.…”

Understanding Digital Documents Using Gestalt Properties of Isothetic Components

“…A number of approaches have been proposed for graphics recognition in digital documents, namely engineering drawings, architectural drawings, etc. (Wenyin, 2004;Ramel & Vincent, 2004;Song, Su, Tai, & Cai, 2002;Wang et al, 2006).…”

Text/Graphics Separation and Recognition in Raster-Scanned Color Cartographic Maps

“…Both methods however assume that the text does not touch or overlap with graphics. Wenyin et al [7] recognized horizontal or vertical text. Luo et al [3] detached characters from straight lines.…”

“…They used a gazetteer (toponym dictionary) to propose a forecasting hypothesis, which characters are in labels and where is their position in the map, having the information from another map in a different scale. Character and text boxes are used in [7] by Wenyin et al The authors considered only horizontal and vertical text in which a character box is a rectangle with rate sides are no larger than 10 pixels to join character boxes. Thus, they built the text box that can grow horizontally or vertically under a threshold to fit the letters.…”
