Construction Drawing OCR
Specialized OCR for reading text from construction and engineering drawings.
Definition
Construction Drawing OCR is optical character recognition technology specifically trained to read text from architectural and engineering drawings. Unlike general-purpose OCR that struggles with technical drawings, construction drawing OCR handles rotated text, dimension strings, keynotes, leaders, and annotations common in AEC drawings. This enables automatic extraction of drawing information for search, analysis, and data management.
Examples
Reading room names and numbers from floor plans
Extracting dimensions and notes from details
