Summary
This article presents a system of data extraction from limnograph chart images. Proposed system will be composed of five main modules that are: extraction of axis and grid, text detection, graph vectorization, calibrations and read data using image content analysis algorithms. In the paper the fundamental characteristics of the system are presented including the simplified scheme of system modules.
