Popis: This work deals with the on-line recognition of hand-drawn graphical sketches with structure. We present a novel approach, in which the search for a suitable interpretation of the input is formulated as a combinatorial optimization task - the max-sum problem. The recognition pipeline consists of two main stages. First, groups of strokes possibly representing symbols of a sketch (symbol candidates) are segmented and relations between them are detected. Second, a combination of symbol candidates best fitting the input is chosen by solving the optimization problem. We focused on flowchart recognition. Training and testing of our method was done on a freely available benchmark database. We correctly segmented and recognized 82.7% of the symbols having 31.5% of the diagrams recognized without any error. It indicates that our approach has promising potential and can compete with the state-of-the-art methods.
