Webcam Jigsaw Solver in 200 Lines of Python 199

Posted by timothy on Tuesday March 01, 2005 @08:41PM from the not-lines-of-coke dept.

leighklotz writes "Jeff Breidenbach and 200 lines of Python code have brought us the Glyphsaw Puzzle solver. Hold a puzzle piece up to a webcam, and the display sgiws exactly where in the puzzle the piece belongs. The solver uses the Python Imaging Library (PIL), Numerical Python, and the PARC DataGlyph Toolkit. By the way, you can make your own DataGlyphs."

Yes, very nice.

But the important question is, can it assemble the puzzle faster than Gary Kasparov?

If you hold a piece of their Slashdotted Web server up to the camera, will this program be able to reassemble it?
