New framework converts hand-drawn circuit diagrams into SPICE-compatible netlists

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed Sketch2Sim, a novel framework designed to analyze hand-drawn circuit diagrams. This system converts circuit sketches into a format compatible with the Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE), enabling automatic calculation of nodal voltages and currents. The framework utilizes a multi-stage pipeline, including YOLO-based detectors, a CRNN with OCR for symbol extraction, and image processing techniques like DBSCAN for node identification. A dataset of 1,000 hand-drawn Resistor-Inductor-Capacitor (RLC) circuits was created to train and evaluate the system, demonstrating robust performance across various handwriting styles and conditions. AI

IMPACT This framework could streamline engineering design reviews and enhance the learning experience for students in electric circuits.
