Optical digit recognition: a programming project for artificial intelligence
Scott M. Thede · Journal of computing sciences in colleges · 2000
Often, the only option for a student at a small university or college who is interested in artificial intelligence is an introductory artificial intelligence class. These classes often do not have the time to delve into many advanced topics in AI. Frequently, the only exposure a student gets to an advanced topic is a single programming project. Therefore, it is important that this project accurately convey the most interesting facets of its topic. This paper describes a programming project used in our recent AI class, designed to let the students get a taste of computer vision and optical character recognition.
