In this paper, a methodology to extract the constituent parts from a noisy line drawing is presented. The image is decomposed into primitives and a heuristic search is performed to identify meaningful aggregates of primitives. Separation of overlapping entities and robustness against noise were the principal objectives of the project while object-oriented programming allowed to design a system very flexible to change and additions. Results of experimentation on different types of objects are reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
