This week we pretty much coasted home. Advances made include writing a new
parse function which parses quicker (since it just looks for blank spaces
instead of using built in matlab routines to find objects) and now is
written specifically for finding the zip code on an image of an envelope
(it takes the last line and reads the 5 rightmost digits).
Also, we have optimized our evalimg function even more - the order of tests
done on the image, which ones are binding, the data we compare the image
to, all that was beefed up to make our percentage we got right.
We even wrote a function that, given the image of an envelope, tells you
the zip code it thinks it got, in nice xxxxx format. Of course, all it
does is call the parse2 and evalimg3 functions.
That's probably about it. Other than that, we're still trying to beef up
our handwritten percentage, mostly by adding handwritten images to our data
set (consider many handwritten 2's and 4's have no analogue in typewritten
fonts).
We rock.
