Was the use of ANN necessary, or simply done because it was cool to do? Because at least in my mind it looks like extracting the text and running a brute force program on it would be faster, no?
- biot 12y agoIf my reading is correct, the neural network was used to OCR the image, extracting the text. From there, it is indeed a simple brute-force string search.
- quadrature 12y agoYeah, but the type is pretty regular and and the alphabet is small. I bet you could just use convolution.
- stepanbujnak 12y agoThe use of ANN was completely unnecessary, as there are only 3 characters in the crossword puzzle. I wanted to try out the OpenCV ANN implementation though and since it's not a real world application it doesn't really matter.
