Overview

Description

The Icon Recognition step identifies vector graphics (SVG images) in the document, exports them as figures and tags them with a custom tag. This can for example be used to identify and categorize hazard pictograms in safety data sheets.

Using an icon recognition step, vector graphics in the document can be selected and assigned a tag. All similar vector graphics (rotated, resized) are then identified by the step and added to the export. Moreover, the export shows the custom tag that is assigned to each graphic.

Once the vector icon is added to the step, the icon and similar icons will be automatically exported and tagged with the defined tag in the XML export.

FAQ

No, the icon recognition step automatically identifies icons as specified by the user in the setup. Once it is setup, the detection of the icons happens “rule-based” hence no user-input nor training is required.
