Abstract

The Puzzle Project is an interactive software system that solves jigsaw puzzles. The voice interface includes speech synthesis and word recognition. The attributes of the puzzle pieces are determined using image processing techniques and wavelet decomposition. Two algorithms are used to solve the puzzles: an expert system and fuzzy logic. This paper describes the steps required to find the solution to the puzzle from image processing to decision-making algorithms. It also explains the techniques involved in designing the voice interface
