System and method for capturing and interpreting images into triple diagrams

A diagram generator comprises a line characterizer, a label characterizer, a block diagrammer to transform the set of drawing objects into a block diagram, a flow charter to transform the set of drawing objects into a flow chart, and a data flow diagrammer to transform the set of drawing objects into a data flow diagram. A client device receives a raw image signal of a print or display graph from a camera and in response processes the raw image to reduce noise, normalize the raw image data, and reduce pixel information. A server system receives the processed image from the client device and in response operates diagram generator logic to transform the processed image into a format in which image lines and other geometric objects are manipulable.
