I uploaded the example ballot .pdf file that the code uses to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RangeVoting/files/Ballot%20image/temp_ballot.pdf
Also, some intermediate files from processing the image0001.pnp file. This is after determining the alignment points: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RangeVoting/files/Ballot%20image/regen_plus.bmp These are the images of each extracted box (after rescaling etc): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RangeVoting/files/Ballot%20image/small_0.bmp http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RangeVoting/files/Ballot%20image/small_1.bmp http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RangeVoting/files/Ballot%20image/small_2.bmp http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RangeVoting/files/Ballot%20image/small_3.bmp http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RangeVoting/files/Ballot%20image/small_4.bmp http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RangeVoting/files/Ballot%20image/small_5.bmp http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RangeVoting/files/Ballot%20image/small_6.bmp http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RangeVoting/files/Ballot%20image/small_7.bmp These are the same boxes after processing http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RangeVoting/files/Ballot%20image/short_0.bmp http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RangeVoting/files/Ballot%20image/short_1.bmp http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RangeVoting/files/Ballot%20image/short_2.bmp http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RangeVoting/files/Ballot%20image/short_3.bmp http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RangeVoting/files/Ballot%20image/short_4.bmp http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RangeVoting/files/Ballot%20image/short_5.bmp http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RangeVoting/files/Ballot%20image/short_6.bmp http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RangeVoting/files/Ballot%20image/short_7.bmp It gets 7 of the 8 correct. The only error is the blank box (5). The main thing, atm, that causes errors is the boxes themselves, as the processing interprets them as part of the handwriting. I think that shouldn't be to hard to fix, but would require that the extracted boxes are processed to find out exactly where their boundary lines are. Currently, it is open loop, it is assumed that the alignment points are determined exactly. With that, it could end up with 85%+ (at least with my handwriting :) ). ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
