Даже дождь выглядит как интеграция: История одной профдеформации

Всем привет, меня зовут Михаил, я back-end разработчик в ОТП банке.

Извлечение параметров из 2D-чертежей: 6 YOLO-моделей, кастомный OCR и стрелочная логика

PDF‑чертёж кажется простым документом, пока не нужно автоматически вытащить из него всё, что влияет на стоимость изготовления детали: габариты, диаметры, резьбы, квалитеты, шероховатости, материал, массу и тип детали. Мы собрали для этого пайплайн из детекции, OCR и инженерной логики: научили систему находить проекции, отделять контур детали от служебных линий, связывать стрелки с размерами и превращать чертёж в JSON для калькулятора стоимости.
