I usually play a game called Burako.
It has some color playing pieces with numbers from 1-13.
After a match finishes you have to count your points.
For example:
1 == 15 points
2 == 20 points
I want to create an app that takes a picture and count the pieces for me.
So I need something that recognizes an image inside an image.
I was about to read about OpenCV since there is an Android port but it feels there should be something simpler to do this.
What do you think?
I had not used the Android port, but i think it’s doable under good lighting conditions.
I would obtain the minimal bounding boxes of each of the pieces and rotate it accordingly so you can compare it with a model image.
Another way could be to get the contour of the numbers written on the piece ( which i guess are in color) and do some contour matching with the numbers.
Opencv is a big and complex framework but it’s also suitable for simple tasks like this.
