Abstract

In this paper, we propose a framework for engineeringdrawings recognition using a case-based approach. Thekey idea of our scheme is that, interactively, the userprovides an example of one type of graphic object in anengineering drawing, then the system learns the graphicalknowledge of this type of graphic object from the exampleand uses this learned knowledge to recognize or searchfor similar graphic objects in engineering drawings. Thescheme emphasizes the following three distinctcharacteristics: automatism, run-time-ness, androbustness. We summarized five types of geometricconstraints to represent the generic graphical knowledge.We also developed two algorithms for case-basedgraphical knowledge acquisition and knowledge-basedgraphics recognition, respectively. Experiments haveshown that our proposed framework is both efficient andeffective for recognizing various types of graphic objectsin engineering drawings.
