The DARPA Shredder Challenge’s Ultimate Puzzle

CSE Research Scientist, Manuel Cebrian and the UCSD Shredder Challenge Team is taking on the new DARPA Shredder Challenge’s ultimate puzzle.  It involves piecing together roughly 10,000 pieces of different documents that have been shredded. “This is almost certainly the most challenging puzzle ever created,” said Cebrian. “A combinatorial number of possibilities makes the problem intractable by computer algorithms alone. A combination of crowd-sourcing and advanced computer-vision algorithms is necessary. This is exactly our approach.”  See the full story:  UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering News
