Abstract

This paper presents an application of graphics recognition technology to tackle specific problems to help in the extraction of information from telephone company drawings. Our approach is contrary to the view of creating graphics recognition systems that can handle different types of problems and perform automated conversion. In this paper we present an example where a small system was constructed to help in the extraction of title information to correct the information in an existing drawings database.
