Abstract
Graphics recognition deals with the specific pattern recognition problems found in graphics-rich documents, typical technical documentation of all kinds. In this paper, we propose a short journey through 20 years of involvement and contributions within this scientific community, and explore more precisely a few interesting issues found when the problem is to browse, query and navigate in a large and complex set of technical documents.
