Machine Interpretation of Sketched Documents
Alexandra Bonnici, Kenneth P. Camilleri · 2020
Sketches and drawings have an integral role in the communication of ideas and form concepts. In this tutorial we focus on the use of sketches in the design and manufacturing process. Here, the drawing adapts from an initial, rough concept sketch to precise machine-drawings. While several computer-aided design tools exist which support the use of different drawings, the abmiguity that is typically associated with initial sketches often means that the initial concept sketch needs to be redrawn according to the specific interfaces used within these systems. This tutorial discusses the challenges that exist in the interpretation of sketches and presents drawing interpretation techniques that address some of these challenges.
