If you draw a diagram on the screen of a tablet computer, like the new Apple iPad, the computer can of course store the drawing as an image. But it can&#8217;t tell what the image means.<\/p>\n<p>MIT researchers intend to change that, with a new system that can interpret sketches. If a chemist, for example, uses a stylus \u2014 an inkless plastic pen \u2014 to draw a molecule on a tablet computer, the software can identify different types of chemical bonds and element symbols and determine the structure of the molecule. Similarly, if an electrical engineer draws a circuit diagram, the software will identify the circuit&#8217;s separate components \u2014 like resistors, capacitors, batteries, and simple wires \u2014 and display them in different colors.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/web.mit.edu\/newsoffice\/2010\/sketch-tablet-0219.html\">Sketch-interpreting software<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/web.mit.edu\/newsoffice\/2010\/sketch-tablet-0219.html<\/p>\n<p>  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gocomments\/tltatfandm.wordpress.com\/1372\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/comments\/tltatfandm.wordpress.com\/1372\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godelicious\/tltatfandm.wordpress.com\/1372\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/delicious\/tltatfandm.wordpress.com\/1372\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/gostumble\/tltatfandm.wordpress.com\/1372\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/stumble\/tltatfandm.wordpress.com\/1372\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/godigg\/tltatfandm.wordpress.com\/1372\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/digg\/tltatfandm.wordpress.com\/1372\/\" \/><\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/goreddit\/tltatfandm.wordpress.com\/1372\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.wordpress.com\/1.0\/reddit\/tltatfandm.wordpress.com\/1372\/\" \/><\/a> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?w=780\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Science writers know as well as anyone how much information a diagram can contain.
