Weekly Progress Report ONE (Updated)

WPR of Week 1:  5th May 2014 to 11th May 2014   
program: B. Tech. CSE (2012-14)                           
Faculty Guide’s Name: Ms. Shilpi Gupta
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Name: Raghav Gogia and Karan Razdhan
Enrollment Number: A2305212211  and A2305212207

TITLE OF THE PROJECT:

Optical Charter Recognition
TARGETS FOR THE WEEK:

To learn the basic concepts of image processing and various algorithms available for the development of our project, and getting familiar with the tools required to create an application
Before starting the project we need a  language or a tool so we choose  MATLAB coz of following advantages offered by MATLAB

  •  A very large (and growing) database of built-in algorithms for image processing and computer vision applications
  • MATLAB allows you to test algorithms immediately without recompilation. You can type something at the command line or execute a section in the editor and immediately see the results, greatly facilitating algorithm development.
  • The MATLAB Desktop environment, which allows you to work interactively with your data, helps you to keep track of files and variables, and simplifies common programming/debugging tasks
  • The ability to read in a wide variety of both common and domain-specific image formats.
  • A large user community with lots of free code and knowledge sharing
  • The ability to auto-generate C code, using MATLAB Coder, for a large (and growing) subset of image processing and mathematical functions, which you could then use in other environments, such as embedded systems or as a component in other software.

ACHIEVEMENTS FOR THE WEEK: 
In first week 1 studied about
v  What MATLAB is all about
v  Application Of MATLAB
v  Different Toolbox available in MATLAB
v  Studied the Image Processing Tool Box Offered by MATLAB
v  Also went through different resources available at our disposal for the development and studied earlier available papers.
v  Major achievement of the week was the Starting of the open source platform(BLOG:- http://summerprojectamity.blogspot.in/) for the publishing our research on a larger scale and not restricting our research and knowledge to our self rather den publishing it .On weekly bases.



FUTURE WORK PLANS:
v  In the upcoming week we are looking forward for studding different algorithms for processing a image and reading patterns from it(alphabets ).
v   Looking for open source dictionaries available for the spell check feature
v   Development of a GUI for our OCR .
.


WEEK’S SUMMARY:

Days
Progress MADE
Monday
(5-May)
Studied Basis of MATLAB
(Like writing a simple mat lab script , input and output using MATLAB at run time ,creating and opening a text file)
Tuesday
(6-May)
Studied Application Of MATLAB and different toolboxes offered by MATLAB
(such as Simulink with a core focus of how on which all platforms MATLAB can work and with which all languages matlab code can be executed(working of  matlab with java was our core research topic))

Wednesday
(7-May) and Thursday    (8-may)
Studied the Image Processing Tool Box Offered by MATLAB
Studied various Functions for our utility offered by dis tool box like. Few imp of them our
Imread- for loading image into memory
Imshow for displaying the image
Imtool for viewing the image and processing it interactively.
Thresholding of image to grayscale
Eg
threshold = graythresh(image);
image =~im2bw(image,threshold);

Friday
(9-May)
Went through different resources available at our disposal for the development and studied earlier available papers.
Saturday
(10-May)
Searched for all the open source platforms where we could use to share our research with world. And weighting the advantages and disadvantages of each platform and selecting BlogSpot by google as a final decision. Because of its several feature like ease of writing and easily editing and support for multiple editors and and contributors.

Sunday
(11-May)
Created our Blog and published our weekly research work.
Blog address:
and further studied the matlab image processing tool box
Various Functions for our uitility  eg
 bwareaopen studied to remove extra pixels etc.
