Journal Article
JAMIESON, L., MORENO-GARCIA, C.F. and ELYAN, E. [2024]. Towards fully automated processing and analysis of construction diagrams: AI-powered symbol detection. International journal on document analysis and recognition [online], Latest Articles. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10032-024-00492-9

Construction drawings are frequently stored in undigitised formats and consequently, their analysis requires substantial manual effort. This is true for many crucial tasks, including material takeoff where the purpose is to obtain a list of the equip...
