I would be willing to organize another project similar to my previous endeavor (found here).
For those that weren't around last year I collected screenshots from players of the market history for all the minerals in the empire regions. I then ran these screenshots through an OCR program that extracted the wanted data.
The downside to this program was that it had an error ratio of > 0. i.e. It needed a lot of hand correction. For the time involved it probably would have been easier to hand enter the data (and more accurate).
If there are enough people interested I would be willing to organize this again and distribute the data to all those who contribute.
This year the major difference would need to be a better OCR program or have everyone helping out hand enter the data. Hand entering wouldn't be that large of a task if it was distributed amongst a bunch of people, but it would be damn near impossible if I did it myself.
I also recall some one saying they were working on their own OCR program for these logs (I forget who), if they feel like sharing that would be great.

Edited by: Cergorach on 30/12/2007 20:34:26 I was thinking the same thing, already working with a band of brothers (no not BOB!) setup all over New Eden. I'll do the OCRing myself, i already setup a very efficient OCR line (macroed photoshop and macroed OCR program).
I've covered all of Empire space and the 0.0 Regions connected to Empire. I might be able to get to the outer 0.0 Regions, but i don't know that for sure yet.
I have a bit of a different business model in mind then you did last year, but i'll get into detail in the next couple of days.
I intend to do a test run with the Veldspar market (guess who inspired that ;-)...
I also intend to offer this service for individual modules and regions. As well as a service for "Market Data Export to File" for the regions.

Sounds way better. If need hosting or anything like that I wouldn't mind helping. I own eve-data.com and I think it is kind of going to waste right now.

So,,,, what is OCR? I've heard it flung round in the recent election and now on here,,, I found this:
* Official Cash Rate in banking * Optimum currency region, a theoretical optimal area where one currency would make most benefit
I suppose it could mean the last one,,
