Recognising digits in patterned images

An image-classification exercise using digit images resembling colour-vision test plates.

The problem

The task was to identify or classify a digit embedded in a patterned colour image. This was a computer-vision learning exercise, not a medical or diagnostic tool.

The approach

Python notebooks supported the image-data analysis and classification, with attention to how the visual pattern affects the information available to the model.

Text description of the infographic

The visual uses the digit seven as an example. Relevant digit structure is distinguished from the surrounding colour pattern before classification. This is a conceptual illustration of the learning task, not an actual model result or a medical test.

The challenge

Separate the digit’s useful visual structure from surrounding pattern information, while keeping the training examples aligned with the task.

Outcome & value

Practical experience with a second kind of image-classification problem. Code and original examples can be attached later; no synthetic result is shown as evidence.

Lessons learned

What is easy to describe in words is not automatically easy to represent in training data.
