The qualitative spatial reasoning group works on sketch understanding and developed the software tool CogSketch. - SPIRIT (Spatially-Aware Information Retrieval on the Internet)
http://www.geo-spirit.org/index.html
SPIRIT is a research project aiming to develop an intelligent search engine for spatial information retrieval, here the spatial information can also be provided by a sketch map. - SFB/TR 8 Spatial Cognition
http://www.sfbtr8.uni-bremen.de/
SFB/TR 8 Spatial Cognition is an interdisciplinary transregional collaborative Research Center for Spatial Cognition. Projects under the Reasoning theme within the SFB/TR 8 initiative are interesting for research on representation of sketch maps.
