OCR for Construction
Optical Character Recognition optimized for construction documents and drawings.
Definition
OCR for Construction refers to optical character recognition technology specifically trained to read construction documents, including hand-marked drawings, faded blueprints, and technical documents with specialized symbols. Unlike general OCR, construction-specific OCR understands drawing conventions, can read dimension strings, and extracts text from drawing title blocks. This enables digitization of legacy drawings and automated data extraction from scanned documents.
Examples
Extracting title block information from thousands of scanned drawings
Reading handwritten markups on construction documents
Converting legacy CAD plots into searchable documents
