lisudoku_ocr

This is a library for detecting sudoku grids from images.

Features

• Detects classic sudoku digits and pencilmarks.
• It works on screenshots and probably won't on random photos.

Installation

It uses OpenCV to detect lines and to split up the puzzle into squares and then Tesseract to detect digits.

You must have opencv installed. Follow the steps at https://github.com/twistedfall/opencv-rust/blob/master/INSTALL.md.
