Introduction After finishing up learning about GUI's last week, all research aspects of the project were complete. This week focused more on the coding aspects of the project as most of the code for the handwriting recognition software had been written during this week. Additionally, a start was made towards the report writing. Project Progression The practice code that was used for image recognition of animals in week 0 was used as a basis to begin writing the code for the handwriting recognition software. Throughout the week, with continuous testing and improvements to the code, significant progress had been made towards developing the final software. Initially, the first draft of the code had problems recognising many of the written characters, specifically the letter 'O'. As can been seen from the examples above, the code had difficulty recognising the character 'O' with a reasonable level of accuracy. Furthermore, sometimes the testing of the code would give ...
