Adaptable Vectorisation System Based on Strategic Knowledge and XML Representation Use

This paper presents a vectorisation system based on the use of strategic knowledge. This one is composed of two parts: a processing library and a graphic user interface. Our processing library is composed of image pre-processing and vectorisation tools. Our graphic user interface is used for the strategic knowledge acquisition and operationalisation. It allows to construct and to execute scenarios, exploiting any processing of our library, according to documents’ contexts and users’ adopted strategies. A XML data representation is used, allowing an easy data manipulation. A scenario example is presented for graphics recognition on utility maps.
