Abstract

This paper describes a method for the recognition of arcs and circles in engineering drawings and other scanned images containing linework. The approach is based on vectorizing a binary image, smoothing the vectors to a sequence of small straight lines, and then attempting to fit arcs. The software was successful in winning first prize in the arc segmentation contest held at GREC 2001, and the results are presented in the context of this evaluation.
