We present the new version of the Graphics Recognition Module developed within the Machine Drawing Understanding System (MDUS) for the graphics recognition contest, to be held during the second IAPR Workshop on Graphics Recognition, Nancy, France, August, 1997. A generic integrated graphics recognition algorithm is adapted to meet the requirements of the contest: straight and circular, solid and dashed lines, horizontal and vertical text, and filled and hollow arrowheads. We present detailed algorithms for recognizing these graphic objects, which are all based on the same generic recognition algorithm.
