Tristan-cs488-tasks

Set of discrete tasks for Schrift (the name of the proposed handwriting recognizer).
These notes and more are are kept on paper.

• File structuring
  • just doing it, will restructure later.
• Image importing
  • Read in jpg image
• Text Scan
  • OpenCV image import, test threshold filter
  • Algorithm for figuring out correct threshold value. Take a mean of the page color and adjust for that value. Usually 110±10?
  • Draw box around where dark is detected, extract that selection.

• Line segmentation
  • Decided it was not necessary to find beginning and end of line
  • General Algorithm
    • Scan from top line by line
    • Stop when line of nothing
    • create selection between line1 and line2
    • push to dynamic array as line[0]

• Word segmentation
  • Outline algorithm similar to line segmentation

• Character segmentation
  • openCV historgram test

11-26-12: I tried an openCV example that makes and highlights bounding box and bounding polygon regions, it gave me this image. Suddenly I'm on the recognition step??

• Character recognition
  • Figure out a basic neural network
    • look atOpenCV neural network type
    • I've found some NN tutorials, the implementation of one is what's bothering me.
