Show HN: Solve Something - an image-based solver for Draw Something
- jzting 14y agoMade this over a handful of nights and weekends. To use, take a screenshot of the Draw Something drawing you are trying to guess and import it into the app. That's all!
- jpadilla_ 14y agoThis is pretty awesome! Mind sharing how the recognition works?
- jzting 14y agoIt's using OpenCV's template matching function. I tried to use other OCR libraries but OpenCV ended up yielding the most accurate results.
- rollypolly 14y agoHow did fit everything in a 3M IPA? Is anything downloaded after the app is installed?
- jzting 14y agoI ended up doing the processing server side - performance on older devices was shockingly slow.
- fredoliveira 14y agoThis is very impressive work - well done. Not only is it technically interesting, I like your UI too. Is this your first app?
- jzting 14y agoThanks! I have a couple other apps available: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/led-light-for-iphone-4-free/id379753015?mt=8 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/led-light-for-iphone-4-free/i... http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/good-word-free-words-friends/id364748947?mt=8 http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/good-word-free-words-friends/... I worked with the same designer for these apps. I've noticed great design and UX really helps!
- peter_l_downs 14y agoHow does it work? Looks very cool.
- rollypolly 14y agoI'd be impressed if it used computer vision. I'd be even more impressed if it used Amazon's Mechanical Turk. :)
- dfxm12 14y agoDisclaimer: I don't have the app, so I don't know for sure... I think the easiest way to solve this problem is to read the letters available, figure out how many letter the solution is, then compare these to the database of DrawSomething words. Many times you'll get a handful of possible solutions (especially for shorter words), but often enough, there will only be one possibility.
- underscoretang 14y agoCan you make it draw for you too?
- jzting 14y agoNo app for that (yet).
