Abstract

In this study, one of deep learning methods, which has been very popular in recent years, is employed for the detection and classification of circuit components in hand-drawn circuit images. Each circuit component located in different positions on the scanned images of hand-drawn circuits, which are frequently used in electrical and electronics engineering, is considered as a separate object. In order to detect the components on the circuit image, Faster Region Based Convolutional Neural Network (R-CNN) method is used instead of conventional methods. With the Faster R-CNN method, which has been developed in recent years to detect and classify objects, preprocessing on image data is minimized, and the feature extraction phase is done automatically. In the study, it is aimed to detect and classify four different circuit components in the scanned images of hand-drawn circuits with high accuracy by using the Python programming language on the Google Colab platform. The circuit components to be detected on the hand-drawn circuits are specified as resistor, inductor, capacitor, and voltage source. For the training of the model used, a data set was created by collecting 800 circuit images consisting of hand drawings of different people. For the detection of the components, the pretrained Faster R-CNN Inception V2 model was used after fine tuning and arrangements depending on the process requirements. The model was trained in 50000 epochs, and the success of the trained model has been tested on the circuits drawn in different styles on the paper. The trained model was able to detect circuit components quickly and with a high rate of performance. In addition, the loss graphics of the model were examined. The proposed method shows its efficiency by quickly detecting each of the 4 different circuit components on the image and classifying them with high performance.
