BLUEPRINT

Multimodal retrieval for complex engineering drawings and documents.

Research question

How can researchers find relevant engineering drawings when legacy metadata is incomplete?

Research approach

Layout-aware retrieval combines drawing-region detection, vision-language OCR, normalized identifiers, and lexical and dense search.

Research outputs & focus

  • Searchable engineering records
  • Structured metadata for legacy archives
  • Retrieved drawings and documents
