Recognition of Hand Drawn Flowcharts

  • Conference paper
Image Processing and Communications Challenges 4

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 184))

Summary

In this paper the problem of hand drawn flowcharts recognition is presented. There are described two attitudes to this problem: on-line and off-line. A concept of FCE, a system for recognizing and understanding of freehand drawn on-line flow charts on desktop computer and mobile devices is presented. The first experiments with the FCE system and the planes for future are also described.
