Abstract
A method of creating an editable image and editable text from a hand-drawn or other static two-dimensional diagram may include receiving a raw image from an image acquisition device; modifying the raw image to a modified image to reduce noise, normalize raw image data, and reduce pixels; recognizing horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines in the modified image using a line recognizer; connecting the lines in the modified image to form connected lines using a connector that detects and joins proximally positioned terminal ends of the lines in the modified image; recognizing areas bounded by the connected lines as bounded objects using a bounded object recognizer; and/or identifying and classifying the bounded objects using an object identifier.
