Abstract
This paper discusses Computer Aided Automatic Digitizing (CAAD) of engineering drawings and the software necessary for efficient encoding, editing and display of the data. Various methods are discussed for scanning documents and an overview of algorithms is presented for encoding of the resulting data. A new vector-coding algorithm that is amenable to line extraction in real time is reported. Compaction ratios for various stages of the data processing are given.Keywords
