Graphics Recognition is a branch of document analysis that focuses on the recovery of graphical information in documents. Graphics consist of spatial arrangements of symbols ; examples include engineering drawings, maps, architectural drawings, music scores, tables, and charts. In this paper we overview the main topics in the last decade.We also hypothesize on the emerging research interests that will be relevant in the future, namely retrieving and indexing by shape signatures in digital libraries and user interaction by sketching interfaces
