CogSketch: Open-domain sketch understanding for cognitive science research and for education

Summary

CogSketch presents a sketch recognition system wrapped in psychological syntax. Users draw single stroke glyphs that can be containment glyphs (symbols) or connection glyphs (relationships). Glyphs are recognized through a focused knowledge base of information that can be specified by the user. Inter-glyph relationships are computed using RCC-8.

On the interface side, the system contains layers that have modes.

Lastly, CogSketch has simulations that can be conducted. The two simulations are analogies (A is to B as C is to ?) and spatial language learning (inside, above, below, etc.).
