Abstract

In this paper, we demonstrate our Img2UML system tool. This system tool eliminates the gap between pixel-based diagram and engineering model, that it supports the extraction of the UML class model from images and produces an XMI file of the UML model. In addition to this, Img2UML offers a repository of UML class models of images that have been collected from the Internet. This project has both industrial and academic aims: for industry, this tool proposals a method that enables the updating of software design documentation (that typically contains UML images). For academia, this system unlocks a corpus of UML models that are publicly available, but not easily analyzable for scientific studies.
