Automated CAD conversion with the Machine Drawing Understanding System: concepts, algorithms, and performance
Dov Dori, Liu Wenyin · IEEE Transactions on Systems Man and Cybernetics - Part A Systems and Humans · 1999
The Machine Drawing Understanding System (MDUS) is an experimental CAD conversion system aimed at realizing the entire process of understanding mechanical engineering drawings, from scanning to 3D reconstruction. This paper describes the structure, algorithms and current performance of MDUS. The modular structure of the system provides for further improvements and makes it an ideal workbench for researchers wishing to test their own algorithms and incorporate them into the system.
