Write a routine and try it - see how well it handles not chopping up the subject matter. Even on the most trivial situation, 1 bit images, which Jay presents us with, it is a full-on heuristics problem that would demand a substantial rule based approach -- you'd need to program in maybe a half dozen ad hoc rules to circumvent common problems, and get a reasonable result. > and I quadrupled the size of the image. >Then I brought the 6 digits all on the same level, that is also not >difficult to >program. Nonsense - its very difficult indeed. To begin with, it implicitly means understanding where the objects are -- again, lots of heuristical ad hoc programming to circumvent common problems like touching digits, which Jay includes. >The result is attached. > >This image was processed with OCR trace and within a split second, the result >appeared. >As you can see on the attached screenshot only the 3rd digit was wrongly >recognised as a 5 instead of a 6 > ie, you did it MANUALLY.

Environmentalism is different however. It is not a religion that happens to be manipulated from time to time for political purpose--for the power and money it can bring to its controllers. Environmentalism is a religion which has been deliberately created, for the sole purpose of manipulating its followers." Arthur B.
