Abstract

We have proposed a structural modeling approach combined with a nondeterministic agent system to produce interpretations of scanned images of CAD drawings [47–50, 113]. This allows a broad set of thresholds to be used during the image analysis which in turn permits the efficient pruning of the resulting search space by taking advantage of constraints from the model or specific application. The nondeterministic agent system is described in a Chap. 5.
