Back2Struct: Making Structured Images Editable Again

Structured images, such as diagrams, charts, and flowcharts, are inherently symbolic and can be compactly represented in an editable format, yet in practice, they are often rendered as images, and therefore not graphically editable. This mismatch presents a significant challenge for researchers, engineers, and designers who wish to incorporate modified versions of existing graphic content into new materials without manually reconstructing it. In this study, we presentBack2Struct, which "makes structured images editable again" by directly recovering vector graphics code (SVG / XML) from image representations. Given an image of a structured graphic, Back2Struct predicts semantically object-...
