Dissertations -- Electrical and electronic engineering Theses -- Electrical and electronic engineering Pattern recognition systems Image processing Computer graphics Form perception Thesis (MScEng (Electrical and Electronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2006. When designing electronic circuits, engineers frequently make hand-drawn sketches of circuits. These are then captured with a computerised design. This study aims to create an alternative to the common schematic capture process through the use of an interactive pen-based interface to the capturing software. Sketches are interpreted through a process of vectorising the user’s strokes into primitive shapes, extracting information on intersections between primitives and using a naive Bayesian classifier to identify symbol components. Various alternative approaches were also considered. It is concluded that it is feasible to use a pen-based interface and underlying recognition engine to capture circuit diagrams. It is hoped that this would provide an attractive early design environment for the engineer and enhance productivity. 2008-01-29T10:23:21Z 2010-06-01T08:49:42Z 2008-01-29T10:23:21Z 2010-06-01T08:49:42Z 2006-12 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/2477 en University of Stellenbosch 1049434 bytes application/pdf application/pdf Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch
