“…Not many approaches exist that address the issues of region selection and recognition in the indexing of technical line drawings. Previous work has focused on the recognition of dimensions and other primitives [6], [7], [8], [9], extraction of text components within drawings [10], scene analysis [11], [12], [13], [14], interpretation [15], [16], CAD reconstruction [17], [18], object grouping [19], and diagram understanding [20]. The only known work on indexing of line drawings [21] performed automatic indexing using manually presegmented graphical objects.…”
