Programming Assignment 1
Due before class on Tuesday, October 1

Write a matlab program "vowel.m" that uses binary image processing methods to find instances of the lower case letter 'e' in the following relatively noise-free scanned texts of the same font and size: 1, 2, 3. The output should be three images in which the detected letters appear highlighted in a color, and all other text and symbols appear in black.

Create an HTML document that gives the matlab program source and output for the three test cases. Also include a one page description of how your program works. Be sure to discuss the assumptions and weaknesses of the particular technique employed. How does your program fail and why? How would you extend the program to make it more general?

Submit your complete HTML document using the submit program on CGL or on CSA.
