If you have any opinions and suggestions I'd love to hear them!
I would pay $10 or $1.99 a month for this.
Food for thought!
Also, a 10% error rate wouldn't be a big deal as long as it was easy to correct the position within a few seconds.
Not to say that this is necessarily malicious. But I personally wouldn't recommend this to anybody as of right now, unless you want to risk leaking potentially sensitive data to a third-party.
It takes a lot of shortcuts, works with just the right lightning, etc., but worked great as a proof-of-concept :)
We got away with not identifying the pieces by just detecting the color, assuming the game started from the initial position, and assuming only legal moves (the whole game is unambiguous using these assumptions).
It's all old-school computer vision with hand-written features, and I'm pretty confident there is tons of low-hanging fruit, but who has the time.
To be honest, I trust you, even as a random stranger on hacker news. But I don't trust that you'll never sell this, and I don't trust whoever you you might sell it to.
