- There's a company called Audre Recognition Systems Inc. that
- specializes in software and workstations for converting maps
- and drawings to vector or CAD formats. They claim to use
- neural networks as part of their user-defined-symbol recognition.
- I suspect that the NN R&D was done at Carnegie Mellon under
- a proprietary contract.
-
- The contact info is Audre Recognition Systems Inc., 10915
- Technology Place, San Diego, CA 92127, (619) 451-2260.
- I doubt that they have a net connection.
