Abstract: Aiming at the problems of difficult implementation, low accuracy and low efficiency of automatic extraction of depth annotation, CNN model is applied to automatic recognition of depth annotations. Combined with the spatial distribution and geometric characteristics of depth annotation, the traditional pattern recognition algorithm is improved, a grid chart depth annotation automatic extraction method considering the correct classification and accurate positioning of elements is proposed. Through the quantitative expansion of the neighborhood of chart slices, an adaptive chart segmentation model considering the integrity of elements is established, which overcomes the limitations of CNN model applied to large format chart element recognition. Combined with the analysis and evaluation of the spatial relationship of the corner position of the prediction frame, the principle of determining the uniqueness of elements facing the airspace conflict is designed, and the problem of repeated recognition of depth annotation caused by neighborhood expansion is solved. On this basis, the spatial distribution law of the location of the main points of depth annotation is further demonstrated, and an improved connected domain analysis model considering the geometric distribution characteristics of elements is established, which realizes the accurate positioning and numerical extraction of depth annotation. The experimental results show that: ① This method can achieve the automatic extraction of depth annotation, and has high recall and precision in the process of classification and rough positioning of depth annotation based on CNN model. At the same time, the accuracy of the final depth annotation value extraction is high, and the position of the main point can meet the special requirements of depth annotation extraction; ② Through the comparative experiments of various CNN models applied in the automatic extraction model in this paper, the effectiveness of different CNN models in the automatic extraction model in this paper is compared, and the suggestions for the adoption of CNN models are analyzed and given. At the same time, the CNN model with good performance is selected as the CNN model used in this model and compared with the traditional pattern recognition method. According to the processing time and the accuracy recall results show that this method has high recognition accuracy and efficiency.
