Abstract:This study proposes a sketch-to-simulation system to solve handwritten circuit diagrams. The system converts raw images into a Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE)-compatible netlist and automatically calculates the circuit’s nodal voltages and currents. Another objective is to propose a holistic framework that benefits students and educators by enhancing the teaching and learning experience of electric circuits and expediting engineering design reviews.

摘要:本研究提出了一种用于求解手绘电路图的“草图转仿真”系统。该系统将原始图像转换为与集成电路重点仿真程序(SPICE)兼容的网表,并自动计算电路的节点电压和电流。另一个目标是提出一个整体框架,通过改善电路的教学体验并加快工程设计审查,使学生和教育工作者受益。

This article presents a multistage pipeline that converts raw photographs of handwritten electric circuits into executable SPICE-like netlists, providing a solution. A dataset of 1,000 hand-drawn Resistor-Inductor-Capacitor (RLC) circuits was curated and annotated for components, text regions, and character recognition.

本文介绍了一种多阶段流水线,它将手绘电路的原始照片转换为可执行的类 SPICE 网表,从而提供了一种解决方案。研究人员整理并标注了一个包含 1,000 个手绘电阻-电感-电容(RLC)电路的数据集,涵盖了组件、文本区域和字符识别。

The proposed system decomposes a circuit diagram into three stages: (i) dual You Only Look Once (YOLO)-based detectors for components and text regions, (ii) a Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network (CRNN) with Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) and Optical Character Recognition (OCR)-based domain-aware symbol value extraction, and (iii) image processing with thresholding, skeletonization, and Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) to automatically identify nodes and map them with corresponding components.

该系统将电路图分解为三个阶段:(i)基于双“你只看一次”(YOLO)的组件和文本区域检测器;(ii)结合连接时序分类(CTC)的卷积递归神经网络(CRNN)以及基于光学字符识别(OCR)的领域感知符号值提取;(iii)通过阈值处理、骨架化和基于密度的噪声应用空间聚类(DBSCAN)进行图像处理,以自动识别节点并将其与相应组件映射。

The proposed system produces the netlist and solves the circuit. The qualitative and quantitative ablation studies on modular stages, as well as end-to-end tests, demonstrate robust performance across various handwriting styles, lighting conditions, and this http URL study serves as an interactive learning aid and practical tool for professionals, providing a comprehensive user interface (UI), enabling rapid digitization of circuit sketches for study, design, prototyping, or troubleshooting.

该系统生成网表并求解电路。针对模块化阶段的定性和定量消融研究以及端到端测试表明,该系统在各种书写风格、光照条件和此 URL 下均表现出稳健的性能。本研究旨在作为一种交互式学习辅助工具和专业人员的实用工具,提供全面的用户界面(UI),实现电路草图的快速数字化,以用于学习、设计、原型制作或故障排除。
