Sketching is a natural and intuitive communication tool used for expressing concepts and ideas that are difficult to communicate through text or speech alone. In design applications, drawings are used at various stages of the design process: from the early concept drawings scribbled on a piece of paper to immersive interactions in which users manipulate and adjust the 3D form of an object in virtual or augmented reality environments. This variety in drawing activities brings about the need for different interpretation strategies that support not only the sketching activity itself, but also allow sketch-based interactions, such as sketch-based queries, to take place. In this book, we explore the different drawing approaches used in design and the algorithms required for processing and interpreting the different sketches and drawings in design. Computer systems can combine processing power with the nonrestrictive nature of sketches to allow designers to perceive and evaluate product properties under their multimodal and 3D forms. To achieve this potential requires combining efforts from several research areas including computer graphics, Machine Learning, augmented and virtual reality environments, tracking, and image/object retrieval, among others. An effective CAD system would be one that allows for a natural interface that does not distract the user from the design process.
