Design Sprints

As a recent enrollee in a UX course on Coursera, I've learned about the concept of design sprints and their growing popularity in the world of product design. A design sprint is a methodology used to solve complex problems and test new ideas within a limited time frame, typically lasting between one and five days.

The design sprint process involves a cross-functional team working together to quickly prototype and test a solution, with the goal of validating or invalidating an assumption about a product or service and arriving at a solution that can be tested in the real world. The process typically consists of five phases: understand, ideate, decide, prototype, and test.

The design sprint process typically consists of five phases:

  1. Understand: During this phase, the team comes together to discuss the problem they are trying to solve and define their objectives for the sprint.
  2. Ideate: In this phase, the team generates a large number of ideas and solutions to the problem at hand. This phase is characterized by creativity and free-flowing thought.
  3. Decide: Once a large number of ideas have been generated, the team works to narrow them down to the most promising solutions. This is typically done through voting, prioritization, and other methods of narrowing the field.
  4. Prototype: In this phase, the team creates a tangible representation of the solution, such as a mock-up or a model. This prototype can then be tested and refined.
  5. Test: The final phase of the design sprint is testing the solution with real users. This phase provides valuable feedback and insights that can be used to improve the solution and prepare it for wider release.

Design sprints have been adopted by companies such as Google, Airbnb, and Uber, and are becoming an increasingly popular way for organizations to quickly test and iterate on new ideas. By bringing together a cross-functional team and focusing on rapid prototyping and testing, design sprints offer a structured and time-efficient approach to problem-solving, ideation, and solution validation.

In conclusion, as a student of UX design, I am learning about the benefits and applications of design sprints in the product design process. By following the five-phase process, organizations can validate ideas and make data-driven decisions quickly, without having to invest a large amount of time and resources.

Document Layout Analysis

Document Layout Analysis is our second exercise. Using the three images above our program needs to do the following: Individual characters are boxed Individual words are boxed Lines are boxed Paragraphs are boxed The paragraphs with margins I used a bottom-up approach for this exercise. It means that I started detecting and boxing the letters to words to line to paragraph and lastly to the paragraph with margin. I created a function for each of the objectives. I used a trial and error approach for determining the appropriate kernel size for the specific function. I have a very simple step for every objectives: Load the images. Assigning of output images Convert images to grayscale Cleaning the images using Otsu's Thresholding method. (with the inversed binarized image) Assigning kernel size (1 or 2 kernels depending in the objective) Morphological Operations (Dilation, Erosion, Closing and Opening) Find the Contours Box the contours (I added some offs
