    Abstract: Systems and methods for automating information extraction from piping and instrumentation diagrams is provided. Traditional systems and methods do not provide for end-to-end and automated data extraction from the piping and instrumentation diagrams. The method disclosed provides for automatic generation of end-to-end information from piping and instrumentation diagrams by detecting, via one or more hardware processors, a plurality of components from one or more piping and instrumentation diagrams by implementing one or more image processing and deep learning techniques; associating, via an association module, each of the detected plurality of components by implementing a Euclidean Distance technique; and generating, based upon each of the associated plurality of components, a plurality of tree-shaped data structures by implementing a structuring technique, wherein each of the plurality of tree-shaped data structures capture a process flow of pipeline schematics corresponding to the one or more piping and instrumentation diagrams.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to digitization of industrial inspection sheets. Digital scanning of paper based inspection sheets is a common process in factory settings. The paper based scans have data pertaining to millions of faults detected over several decades of inspection. The technical challenge ranges from image preprocessing and layout analysis to word and graphic item recognition. This disclosure provides a visual pipeline that works in the presence of both static and dynamic background in the scans, variability in machine template diagrams, unstructured shape of graphical objects to be identified and variability in the strokes of handwritten text. The pipeline incorporates a capsule and spatial transformer network based classifier for accurate text reading and a customized Connectionist Text Proposal Network (CTPN) for text detection in addition to hybrid techniques for arrow detection and dialogue cloud removal.
