Date has been set for project viva. Thursday 27th 1PM. Need to prepare presentation for viva and some hand outs to aid in explaining fully UMLDraw and how the end product will work, as well as a complete list of deliverables, risk assessment and project plan.
Emails have been sent to Ali and liz (second reader) to try and arrange a time to meet for the viva. Once a date has been confirmed some documents of the current progress can be created in duplicate for the readers
Current project plan is as follows
Tasks are measured in work days and the dates that they appear on are irrelevant.
Upon research into handwriting recognition I have discovered that there are not any libraries out there that I will be able to use which will not cause issues with licensing. I have found articles about how to implement this however the accuracy of this will depend upon the training data that is used to match the writing to letters. A new test program has been created to test out a method that will work for letter recognition which can be encorperated into my concept of the design. Doing so will allow me to explore methods before i start the design of the complete project itself. The first test program which was a simple test to try matching hand drawn shapes can be downloaded (http://dev.yeticode.co.uk/jt/dev/ImageBoxDraw.exe,http://dev.yeticode.co.uk/jt/dev/ImageBoxDraw.tar.gz ) it requires .NET 2.0 or Mono.
