Brief Description:
Online methods of optical character, formula and diagram recognition,
online recognition are based on drawing on a pad device, a graphics
tablet, a smartphone touch screen or with a mouse. Each
stroke that that the user enters is analysed, recognised, corrected
and displayed to the user, who can either accept what has been
recognised or undo the change. Demonstrations of a commercial system
that implements a number of tools of this type are available at: (http://webdemo.visionobjects.com/)
This project is to focus on one of these application domains (text,
formulae or one diagram type, e.g.UML Class diagrams, Chemical
diagrams, etc.) and implement a working system.
The system can be a Web application, using HTML5's Canvas element, CSS
and Javascript for the GUI front end, it could be a smartphone
application (Android preferred), or it could be a desktop application
using Java or OCaml. Also possible is the use of a note taking device
such as the Digimemo: http://www.digimemo.net/
