That's nice. I can see this actually have more utility in game-recording
than scoring. The most important pro tournaments can afford to have human
game-recorders, but all other occasions must rely on players making records
themselves. If you can just place a tablet next to a board to record all
the moves, a tournament-book with the most important games can be published
minutes after the tournament finishes. I say 'book' but of course it will
most likely just be a collection of SGF files. Players can even use it
immediately after the game to add comments.
I'm actually working on an automatic object-recognition project myself at
the moment. I can understand the challenges posed by a board with different
content and different lighting conditions each time. But I guess it should
be doable without manual selection of the corners.
