Cover Story: Advances in image analysis and deep learning technologies have expanded the use of floor plans. However, a typical floor plan does not provide in-depth information, such as outlet types, numbers, and locations. Electrical plans, which give details on electrical installations, are intricate due to overlapping symbols and lines and remain underutilized since house manufacturers independently manage them. This paper proposes a new method to analyze an electrical plan, which focuses on the characteristics of symbols and lines to extract and distinguish objects in a plan; it complements missing parts to achieve robustness to noise and overlaps. Furthermore, it can extract the house structure, room semantics, connectivities, and specifics of wall and ceiling sockets from electrical plans. View this paper
