Diploma work

Capturing handwritten text using a video equipment

The 1st January 1997 I started the last part of my studies in computer science. I write my diploma work at the Fachgruppe für Künstliche Intelligenz und Computer Vision of Mr. Prof. H. Bunke at the Institut für Informatik und angewandte Mathematik IAM of the Universität Bern. My coach is Dr. Thien Ha Minh.

I finished the documentation of this work by the beginning of May 1998. Now I only have to succeed in my exams at the end of May 1998 ... let's hope the best ;-)
