Kwy·ji·bo, n.

“A big, dumb, balding North American ape with no chin and a short temper.”

— Bart Simpson

Kwyjibo is also an experimental, automated referee for Scrabble games. It was built to explore real-time OCR, computer vision and machine learning as the subject of my dissertation at the University of Sheffield in 2011.

About

You can read a little bit about how it works in this explanation. Much of the image processing is done using the Aforge.NET computer vision library. There's also a video of it working.
