CV Maze Solver

Maze_solver provides a relatively quick computer vision solution to most mazes.

How it works

Maze_solver reads in images of mazes, performs thresholding and thinning, and then converts the remaining "on" pixels to a network. A simple keyboard UI allows the user to update the starting and ending points. The maze is solved using a simple dijkstra algorithm.

Installation

python -m venv venv
pip install -r requirements.in
source venv/bin/activate

Usage

src/maze_solver.py

Key	Result
s	Move starting point left
f	Move starting point right
e	Move starting point up
d	Move starting point down
j	Move ending point left
l	Move ending point right
i	Move ending point up
k	Move ending point down
space	Accept start and end points and solve.
escape	Exit

Todo

The next steps in this project are to

• Add a CLI to allow user to run on their own mazes
• Save the name of the file and the starting and ending points in a cache file.
• Allow the user to use a camera instead of an image.
• Allow the user to use the mouse to specify starting and ending positions
• Allow the user to display thinned image
• Handle color mazes - thresholding and thinning
