Abstract
Most often, in the field of technical drawings, the representations of documents are not suited to the simultaneous processing of straight lines and of curves. We propose a two step process embedded in a global process. First is presented the construction of a global representation using two features, the vectors and the quadrilaterals. Then, in order to better handle the curves, a method using Bezier curves is introduced. Finally, we show that it is better to consider this process as a specialist among many others. The cooperation of the different experts leads then to a better interpretation of documents
