This study proposed two algorithms for reconstructing jigsaw puzzles by using a color compatibility feature. Two realistic application cases were examined: one involved using the original image, while the other did not. We also calculated the transformation matrix to obtain the real positions of each puzzle piece and transmitted the positional information to the robotic arm, which then put each puzzle piece in its correct position. The algorithms were tested on 35-piece and 70-piece puzzles, achieving an average success rate of 87.1%. Compared with the human visual system, the proposed methods demonstrated enhanced accuracy when handling more complex textural images.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
