The approach combines qualitative features of the sequence of sketch strokes with a high-level knowledge, and accentuates the potential effectiveness of interpretation via description logics. The results of an implementation, along with explanations, are presented to show how to extract the semantics of hand-drawn sketches of four object categories.Text/Journal Article10.1007/s13218-019-00602-41610-1987
