In the seven seas of coding, there lived a pirate like no other. His name was Matlabbeard, a swashbuckling adventurer with a passion for Matlab. His trusty parrot, Octavia, perched on his shoulder, squawking " Syntax Error!" whenever he made a mistake.
% Parse the coordinates x = str2double(coords.Text);
Matlabbeard called upon his trusty sidekick, Octavia, to help him crack the code. Together, they wrote the following Matlab script:
% Apply thresholding to reveal the hidden message thresh_map = imbinarize(gray_map, 0.5);
% Use OCR to extract the treasure coordinates coords = ocr(thresh_map, 'Language', 'en');
% Convert to grayscale gray_map = rgb2gray(encrypted_map);
