Sudoku Dataset

This dataset contains images of Sudoku taken in various newspapers using martphone Cameras.

This dataset contains 200 pictures of Sudoku, divided into two sets: 160 training images and 40 test images.

Versions

There are three versions of the datasets:

  • V2: The complete dataset with 200 images (160 for training and 40 for testing)
  • mixed: Every puzzle was completed artificially (each 81 digit is set), the same images as V2, but complete.
  • V1: The old version of 160 images, should not be used anymore

Results

Here are some results that have been obtained on this dataset.

  1. Baptiste Wicht / Jean Hennebert (EIA-FR, Switzerland) : Hough Transform and DBN : 12.5% error rate on v1

Usage

Format

The format of the dataset should be straightforward. For each imageX.jpg file, there is imageX.dat file contains the metadata for this file. Here is an example of such a file:

sonyEricsson s500i
640x480:24 JPG
0 0 0 7 0 0 0 8 0
0 9 0 0 0 3 1 0 0
0 0 6 8 0 5 0 7 0
0 2 0 6 0 0 0 4 9
0 0 0 2 0 0 0 5 0
0 0 8 0 4 0 0 0 7
0 0 0 9 0 0 0 3 0
3 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 6
1 0 5 0 0 4 0 0 0

The first line contains the brand and model of the phone that took the picture. The second line contains information about the format of the image. Then the sudoku is described, 0 indicating an empty cell.

Outlines

The outlines of the sudoku grids have ben contributed by Lars @panexe With the outlines_sorted.csv file, you can train a model to recognize the grid themselves.
