Abstract

Following the discussion we have made in Chap. 1, in this chapter, graphics recognition: graphical symbol recognition, retrieval and spotting will be discussed. It first provides a clear definition of graphical symbols and tells us where does graphics recognition lie in the DIA. It also extends its discussion to graphics recognition contests (major competitions, organized by international scientific committee in cooperation with the international association for pattern recognition (IAPR)) that have been happening since 90s to see whether the real-world problems have been addressed. Not stop** there, it also quickly explains research standpoints from the author’s point of view.
