Meeting on August 6th, 2014

After seeing the results for Text detection, we discussed the following points during our meeting:

1- Aseem presented a fuzzy matching technique. According to his technique, the elements of a graphic design are finalized after a query is presented. He proposed a graph matching technique (with MRF flavor) that performs a matching between query elements and the graphics elements. Some graphics elements could be merged or discarded during this process.

2- We discussed about how to wrap up the work and discussed the folowing TODO list. 

TODO:

1- Finalize Text detection and report it on ICDAR dataset.

2- Finalize Graphics Annotation

3- Perform training on Graphics Detection

4- Run the algorithm on a larger dataset

5- Write up a description of how our system works

6- Write up technical details of the algorithm for filing a patent.

7- Make a presentation and a poster for the last two days

8- Clean up the code so that it is more readable.

9- Put the detection pieces back in the pipeline and make a final demo.
10- Output detections in an easily readable format that Aseem could later experiment with.
