e4engineering.com: Sketch and search
Design Engineering, 18 October 2004.
How cool. It would be better if you could go to the parts department at Pep Boys and draw a picture of the part you need for your car using a pen and a pad... but this is a good first step and it's in production. From the company's site, their "retrieval accuracy ... exceeds 98% for high quality drawings and 95% even from a basic sketch."
(BTW, This is here on my library site instead of my sci/tech site because I'm interested in the IR part of this more than the parts part of this.) ¶ 2:13 PM| |cites (technorati) |
'CADFind Sketch & Search', as the package is called, is claimed to be the first commercial design retrieval system in the world that can find 2D engineering drawings from a sketch. Uniquely, it works for any kind of mechanical engineering component.
