Deep learning models benchmarked for AEC engineering drawing analysis · 1 source tracked

A new research paper benchmarks deep learning models for layout detection and information extraction from AEC engineering drawings. The study found that models pre-trained on general document datasets performed poorly due to domain interference. RF-DETR achieved state-of-the-art performance in layout detection, while Qwen3-VL led in information extraction. AI

IMPACT Establishes a technical foundation for automating information extraction in the AEC sector.

    Benchmarking Deep Learning Approaches for AEC Engineering Drawing Layout Detection and Information Extraction

    arXiv:2607.18997v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Information Extraction (IE) from Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) drawings remains hindered by manual inefficiency, while Layout Detection, a vital 'middleware' organizing graphical and textual hierarchies, is und…
