Gautam & Ishan: We already had way to get co-ordinates of regions, lines and words in tesseract using tesseract functions. We integrated OpenCV with tesseract and used functions of opencv to draw rectangular boxes on image at co-ordinates obtained from tesseract. This experiment can be found at logbook. We have also added how to achieve it in How to section.

Gautam: I updated Logbook for experiments that we have done. I found that there is one configuration named hocr which outputs xml file which contains co-ordinates and all information of page layout analysis. With help of tool PAGEViewerWindows_1.1 we can draw boxes on input image. I have updated this experiment on "logbook". And also on "How to" section.

Mitesh: I continued with python. Since I was not well yesterday I couldn't cover much.I have completed 3 more chapters i.e. problem solvings,oop,input-output. I get stucked in problem solvings.

Ishan: I tried to draw boxes on text in images using c++ code for opencv. but when i ran that code i did not get output because it throwed an exception for one function. i found out that code in this page : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23506105/extracting-text-opencv In this page there are two different methods for detecting text. i tried both methods for different different images but in both methods i got an exception handling problem.

Gautam: I finished my Coursera work and created new repo for our Project. I searched for function to draw box on image using box file. I succeedto get box file but couldn't figure out how to draw box on image.

Ishan: i didn't get much time in last two days. i finished my coursera week4 and i tried to find out code or module which perform text detection from image means build blocks around text. and i ran that code but i got one error which i couldn't figure out till now so i need more time.

Mitesh: I did coursera and continued with python.I have completed 30 more pages from the book i.e completed upto data data structures.

Gautam: I worked on this project wiki to give it proper shape and create every needed page. Learnt syntax for wiki. One thing I couldn't figure  out that how to create templates for wiki. As HTML eats extra spaces, I wanted to create template that can add extra spaces. I need help with that.

Ishan: I worked with opencv. i tried to understand basic functionality of opencv. i installed opencv 3.00 version and then cofigured it with visual studio 2013. useful link for configuration of opencv with visual studio :-http://opencv-srf.blogspot.in/2013/05/installing-configuring-opencv-with-vs.html?m=1

Then i tried to read & display image with opencv and i succeeded to read and display images with using c++ code in visual studio. I tried different different grayscale and color images both. i got successful output in all images.useful link for read and disply image :- http://opencv-srf.blogspot.in/2013/06/load-display-image.html?m=1

Mitesh:I started learning python.I refered the book A Byte of Python by Swaroopch. I installed python3.5 version and runned some basic examples explained in the book. I used notepad++ editor to write a code. I have completed about 60 pages of the book.
