An Automatic TAKI Judge at the Technion – IIT

TAKI is a popular card game that resembles UNO. During the game, players place on a stack of cards a card with the same color or number as the previous top card in the stack. In addition, special cards can be placed regardless of the top card in the stack. The winning player is the one who has no cards left. In order to track the course of the game and determine if a move is valid, we have developed a webcam-based automatic judge that detects game moves and alerts in case of an illegal move. The system analyzes the video in real-time using deep leaning methods to recognize cards. Through image processing and computer vision methods, the system monitors the game dynamics and player moves. It knows which player should play next and detects when a player wins.
