I took a graphics processing class backn in college.. one of the class projects was writing a character recognition program. The method was like what you drew above... first, you would wrap a virtual rubber band around the character, then make a note of the rubber band's shape. Next, do hole detection to find-out how many holes were in the character.. A triangle with one hole was a capital letter A.. A rectangle with two holes was a capital letter B...
yeah, ok, so I drew this piece-o-crap,... but somehow I feel like the 3 minutes weren't worth it if i didn't hit SAVE... lame I know... It borders on obsessive compulsive
WHOAH !!
heh heh.. i think my computer almost exploded when I tiled this as my background in windows!
