Classification of piping and instrumental diagram information using machine-learning

Abstract

Systems and methods for identifying patterns of symbols in standardized system diagrams are disclosed. Disclosed implementations obtain or synthetically generate a symbol recognition training data set including multiple training images, generate a symbol recognition model based on the symbol recognition training data set, obtain an image comprising a pattern of symbols, group symbols into process loops based on the logical relationships captured by process loop identification algorithm, apply a character classification model to image contours to identify the characters and group characters into tags via hierarchical clustering, and store the identified tags, symbols and identified process loops in a relational database.
