wheres-waldo

A Where's Waldo puzzle solver made using OpenCV and Python.

First Approach:

Using feature matching on a query image while using a reference image of Waldo

Second Approach:

Using template matching and performing a similar task but requires an near exact match with Waldo in reference

To do this the image of Waldo was manually extracted from the query image itself and then compared.

This seems to defeat the purpose of solving the puzzle. So for the next approach a pre-existing bigger training set of images will be used to train the model to the different kinds of appearances Waldo can have.

Third Approach:

A neural network method that is currently in progress
