Image Processing for Puzzle Solving

Classic jigsaw puzzles, while being a simple hobby and entertaining pastime, are of great educational value for the human brain as they train its pattern recognition abilities, improve coordination and develop spatial awareness. Since in computer science pattern recognition is typically solved by image processing, our R&D engineers decided to develop a computer vision program for the automatic assembly of a jigsaw puzzle. Despite being only a workshop project, our automatic jigsaw puzzle solver has a number of potential applications, among which reassembling of damaged documents and stitching satellite images into maps.
