R-CNN-Based Chess Position Recognition
Performing chess game position recognition solely from a single image of a three-dimensional board requires predicting the position and orientation of the board relative to the camera, the occupancy of squares and the piece type, which includes its colour. We propose an R-CNN-based framework with independent components for piece recognition and board geometry estimation, whose predictions are combined to reconstruct the position. For piece recognition, we adapt Faster R-CNN using a class-weighted objective and a deeper classification head. The detector operates directly on the input image, retaining alternative piece hypotheses that are subsequently refined using constraints on piece coun...
