One of areas where reverse engineering is used is integrated circuit(IC) production. Part of the existed IC topology can be utilised during design of a new IC.In this paper, we propose a method to automatically recognise IC elements and to obtain IC description from an IC layer image. Main distinctions of the proposed method are stability in respect to noise and low error percentage. To speed-up the processing, the special fast algorithms for edge detection, image vectorisation and reconstruction of vector representation have been developed.
