Sketch Interpretation System - Index

These pages present methods for the automatic creation of boundary representation models of polyhedral objects from single line drawings depicting the objects. This topic is important in that automated interpretation of freehand sketches would remove a bottleneck in current engineering design methods. The thesis does not consider methods which require manual intervention or multiple drawings.

In engineering and scientific development, it is normal that a break-through relieving an immediate bottleneck serves to either create or reveal another (Grace Hopper, 1959).
