Solving Sudoku from an Image using Modular Architecture Approach

Sudoku puzzles can be found in various physical forms in newspapers, magazines and elsewhere. It may often be desirable to convert this puzzle into a digital format for ease of solving. This paper proposes a method for extracting and solving a Sudoku puzzle captured in an image. AI techniques can then be applied to solve the Sudoku puzzle. A modular architecture is created for this purpose. Modules can be replaced as needed, making it easier to improve and maintain an application using the proposed architecture DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.150312
