This image illustrates an automated pipeline for reverse engineering chart images into TikZ code. The core logic of this system can be divided into the following four main stages: 1. Input & Global Planning Stage: Input: Original chart images (such as line charts, bar charts, etc.). Global Processing: Global Planner: Receives image input and extracts global metadata. Output: Generates JSON formatted data containing the chart's global parameters (e.g., 'X-scale': 1.5, 'Y-scale': 0.5, etc.). 2. Parallel Feature Extraction Stage: The image is simultaneously input into four parallel deep learning/recognition models, each responsible for extracting different chart component information and generating corresponding TikZ code snippets: Chart Basic Configuration Recognition Model: Identifies the basic structure of the chart and generates Tikz 1 code. Axis Parsing Model: Parses the scales, labels, etc., of the X/Y axes and generates Tikz 2 code. Data Visualization Recognition Model: Identifies specific data points, lines, or bars and generates Tikz 3 code. Legend Recognition Model: Identifies the content and style of the legend and generates Tikz 4 code. 3. Code Synthesis Stage: Fill-in: Integrates the data produced in the above two stages: JSON data produced by the Global Planner. TikZ code snippets (1-4) produced by the four models. Template Application: This data is filled into a preset LaTeX template. Output: Generates complete TikZ code. 4. Compilation & Validation Loop: This is a crucial closed-loop in the system to ensure code executability: Latex Compiler: Attempts to compile the generated complete code. Success: Directly outputs the final chart, and the process ends. Failure: Triggers an error handling mechanism. Check Agent: Receives compilation failure information. Analyzes the error and attempts to fix the code. Generates New TikZ Code. Loop: Sends the new code back to the Latex Compiler for compilation until successful.
