Automatically Transforming Symbolic Shape Descriptions for Use in Sketch Recognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sketch recognition systems are currently being developed for many domains, but can be time consuming to build if they are to handle the intricacies of each domain. This paper presents the first translator that takes symbolic shape descriptions (written in the LADDER sketch language) and automatically transforms them into shape recognizers, editing recognizers, and shape exhibitors for use in conjunction with a domain independent sketch recognition system. This transformation allows us to build a single domain independent recognition system that can be customized for multiple domains. We have tested our framework by writing several domain descriptions and automatically created a domain specific sketch recognition system for each domain.

SHADY: A Shape Description Debugger for Use in Sketch Recognition
Sketch recognition systems are currently being developed for many domains, but can be time consuming to build if they are to handle the intricacies of each domain. LADDER is a language for describing how domain shapes are drawn, displayed, and edited in a sketch recognition system for that domain. LADDER shape descriptions can be automatically translated into JAVA code to be compiled with a mul...
متن کاملAutomatically Generating Sketch Interfaces from Shape Descriptions
As pen-based input devices have become more common, sketch recognition systems are being developed for many hand-drawn diagrammatic domains such as mechanical engineering, GUI design, course of action diagrams, and many others. These sketch interfaces 1) allow for more natural interaction than a traditional mouse and palette tool by allowing users to hand-sketch the diagram, 2) can automaticall...
متن کاملBuilding and Comparing Qualitative Descriptions of Three-Dimensional Design Sketches
We describe a method for constructing qualitative structural descriptions of hand-drawn sketches of 3D objects. We use visual grouping and segmentation operations to extract edges and surfaces, and use line labeling with an extension of Malik’s (1987) junction catalog to identify threedimensional features in order to construct an orientationinvariant symbolic representation. These symbolic repr...
متن کاملNew Investigators: Artificial Intelligence Location: TBA Simplifying Sketch Recognition UI Development
Sketch recognition systems are timeconsuming to build and require signal-processing expertise if they are to handle the intricacies of each domain. Our goal is to enable user interface designers, who may not have expertise in sketch recognition, to be able to build sketch systems. We have built GUILD to automatically generate sketch recognition UIs from computer-generated or handtyped LADDER de...

Diagrammatic sketching is a natural modality of human-computer interaction that can be used for a variety of tasks, for example, conceptual design. Sketch recognition systems are currently being developed for many domains. However, they require signal-processing expertise if they are to handle the intricacies of each domain, and they are time-consuming to build. Our goal is to enable user inter...
