Abstract
We introduce a shape categorisation method for architectural drawings that takes shape characteristics derived from those drawings as features. We propose a feature-based shape analysis procedure and a formal model of shape categorisation based upon the measurement of featural similarity of shapes. Shape categorisation is demonstrated in experiments on architectural drawings.
