Book Description
Line drawing interpretation is a challenging area with enormous practical potential. At present, many companies throughout the world invest large amounts of money and human resource in the input of paper drawings into computers. The technology needed to produce an image of a drawing is widely available, but the transformation of these images into more useful forms is an active field of research and development. Machine Interpretation of Line Drawing Images - describes the theory and practice underlying the computer interpretation of line drawing images and - shows how line drawing interpretation systems can be developed. The authors show how many of the problems can be tackled and provide a thorough overview of the processes underpinning the interpretation of images of line drawings.

Machine Interpretation of Line Drawings
Author: Kōkichi Sugihara
Publisher: MIT Press (MA)
ISBN:
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
This book solves a long-standing problem in computer vision, the interpretation of line drawings and, in doing so answers many of the concerns raised by this problem, particularly with regard to errors in the placement of lines and vertices in the images. Sugihara presents a computational mechanism that functionally mimics human perception in being able to generate three-dimensional descriptions of objects from two-dimensional line drawings. The objects considered are polyhedrons or solid objects bounded by planar faces, and the line drawings are single-view pictures of these objects. Sugihara's mechanism has several potential applications. It can facilitate man-machine communication by extracting object structures automatically from pictures drawn by a designer, which can be particularly useful in the computer-aided design of geometric objects, such as mechanical parts and buildings. It can also be used in the intermediate stage of computer vision systems used to obtain and analyze images in the outside world. The computational mechanism itself is not accompanied by a large database but is composed of several simple procedures based on linear algebra and combinatorial theory. Contents:Introduction. Candidates for Spatial Interpretation. Discrimination between Correct and Incorrect Pictures. Correctness of HiddenPart-Drawn Pictures. Algebraic Structures of Line Drawings. Combinatorial Structures of Line Drawings. Overcoming Superstrictness. Algorithmic Aspects of Generic Reconstructibility. Specification of Unique Shapes. Recovery of Shape from Surface Information. Polyhedrons and Rigidity. Kokichi Sugihara is Professor in the Department of Mathematical Engineering and instrumentation Physics, Faculty of Engineering, the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan. Machine interpretation of Line Drawingsis included in The MIT Press Series in Artificial Intelligence, edited by Patrick Henry Winston and Michael Brady.

An Introduction to Interpretation of Graphic Images
Author: Sergey Ablameyko
Publisher: SPIE Press
ISBN: 9780819423801
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
The image analysis community has put much effort into developing systems for the automatic reading of various types of documents containing text, graphic information, and pictures. A closely related but much more problematic task is the reading and interpretation of line drawings such as maps, engineering drawings, and diagrams. This book considers the problem in detail, analyzes its theoretical foundations, and analyzes existing approaches and systems.

Manual of Engineering Drawing
Author: Colin H. Simmons
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080473342
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
The Manual of Engineering Drawing has long been recognised as the student and practising engineer's guide to producing engineering drawings that comply with ISO and British Standards. The information in this book is equally applicable to any CAD application or manual drawing. The second edition is fully in line with the requirements of the new British Standard BS8888: 2002, and will help engineers, lecturers and students with the transition to the new standards.BS8888 is fully based on the relevant ISO standards, so this book is also ideal for an international readership. The comprehensive scope of this book encompasses topics including orthographic, isometric and oblique projections, electric and hydraulic diagrams, welding and adhesive symbols, and guidance on tolerancing.Written by a member of the ISO committee and a former college lecturer, the Manual of Engineering Drawing combines up-to-the-minute technical accuracy with clear, readable explanations and numerous diagrams. This approach makes this an ideal student text for vocational courses in engineering drawing and undergraduates studying engineering design / product design.Colin Simmons is a member of the BSI and ISO Draughting Committees and an Engineering Standards Consultant. He was formerly Standards Engineer at Lucas CAV.* Fully in line with the latest ISO Standards* A textbook and reference guide for students and engineers involved in design engineering and product design* Written by a former lecturer and a current member of the relevant standards committees

Interactive Sketch-based Interfaces and Modelling for Design
Author: Alexandra Bonnici
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000824039
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
Sketching is a natural and intuitive communication tool used for expressing concepts and ideas that are difficult to communicate through text or speech alone. In design applications, drawings are used at various stages of the design process: from the early concept drawings scribbled on a piece of paper to immersive interactions in which users manipulate and adjust the 3D form of an object in virtual or augmented reality environments. This variety in drawing activities brings about the need for different interpretation strategies that support not only the sketching activity itself, but also allow sketch-based interactions, such as sketch-based queries, to take place. In this book, we explore the different drawing approaches used in design and the algorithms required for processing and interpreting the different sketches and drawings in design. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on sketching in the 2D domain. This includes the digitization of offline and paperbased sketches, techniques for online sketch recognition, observations of user drawing habits, algorithms for inferring depth from 2D drawings, as well as non-photorealistic rendering techniques that are then applied to sketch-based queries. The second part of the book focuses on 3D sketching in virtual or augmented reality spaces. Here, we present the processing and rendering of the 3D strokes, the different interaction devices available for 3D sketching, and look at different applications where immersive 3D sketching has been applied with success.

Pattern Analysis and Understanding
Author: Heinrich Niemann
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642748996
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
In this second edition every chapter of the first edition of Pattern Analysis has been updated and expanded. The general view of a system for pattern analysis and understanding has remained unchanged, but many details have been revised. A short account of light and sound has been added to the introduction, some normalization techniques and a basic introduction to morphological operations have been added to the second chapter. Chapter 3 has been expanded significantly by topics like motion, depth, and shape from shading; additional material has also been added to the already existing sections of this chapter. The old sections of Chap. 4 have been reorganized, a general view of the classification problem has been added and material provided to incorporate techniques of word and object recognition and to give a short account of some types of neural nets. Almost no changes have been made in Chap. 5. The part on representation of control structures in Chap. 6 has been shortened, a section on the judgement of results has been added. Chapter 7 has been rewritten almost completely; the section on formal grammars has been reduced, the sections on production systems, semantic networks, and knowledge acquisition have been expanded, and sections on logic and explanation added. The old Chaps. 8 and 9 have been omitted. In summary, the new edition is a thorough revision and extensive update of the first one taking into account the progress in the field during recent years.
