How to feed the data of a very cheap thermometer into your computer, so that you can log the data and create some statistics? Image recognition. Well, sort of. In the end i was too lazy to come up with something really intelligent.

Grab the camera picture...


...enhance...


...b/w...


...edge-detect and statistically find whats probably the digits...


...fool around with vectors and the pixel-array to form a box (very crude perspective correction), and here my motivation left me.


Thus i created a very simple method to determine the digits: check for black/white in regions you manually created. Done.
