  • Extracting and analyzing information from engineering drawings
    Patent number: 11270105
    Abstract: A method and system for extracting information from a drawing. The method includes classifying nodes in the drawing, extracting attributes from the nodes, determining whether there are errors in the node attributes, and removing the nodes from the drawing. The method also includes identifying edges in the drawing, extracting attributes from the edges, and determining whether there are errors in the edge attributes. The system includes at least one processing component, at least one memory component, an identification component, an extraction component, and a correction component. The identification component is configured to classify nodes in the drawing, remove the nodes from the drawing, and identify edges in the drawing. The extraction component is configured to extract attributes from the nodes and edges. The correction component is configured to determine whether there are errors in the extracted attributes.
