Recognizing Off-Line Flowcharts by Reconstructing Strokes and Using On-Line Recognition Techniques

We experiment with off-line recognition of handwritten flowcharts based on strokes reconstruction and our state-of-the-art on-line diagram recognizer. A simple baseline algorithm for strokes reconstruction is presented and necessary modifications of the original recognizer are identified. We achieve very promising results on a flowcharts database created as an extension of our previously published on-line database.
