Solution Overview

Problem

Existing drawing recognition systems struggle to accurately recognize elements in plan views of buildings with different scales, as variations in the number of rooms can lead to decreased recognition accuracy.

Innovation Solution

A drawing recognition system that divides plan views based on the number of rooms, using a recognition model generated through machine learning with sufficient plan views as learning data, and selects a recognition model corresponding to the type of plan view to improve recognition accuracy.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a plan view of a building with different scale is recognized directly, then the recognition process is simple, but the recognition accuracy of elements may decrease due to variations in the number of rooms

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition accuracyVSAvoidrecognition process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The plan view is divided into multiple divided drawings based on the number of rooms included in the plan view. This segmentation allows the recognition system to process each divided drawing with a controlled number of rooms, suppressing variations in room count and improving recognition accuracy without requiring complex preprocessing of the entire plan view at once

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If the plan view is divided based on the number of rooms, then the recognition accuracy is improved, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecognition accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The plan view is divided into multiple divided drawings based on the number of rooms included in the plan view. This segmentation allows the recognition system to process each divided drawing with a controlled number of rooms, suppressing variations in room count and improving recognition accuracy without requiring complex preprocessing of the entire plan view at once

Inventive Principle:
