Dice face value recognition

Question

I’m trying to build a simple application that will recognize the values of two 6-sided dice. I’m looking for some general pointers, or maybe even an open source project.

Answer 1

Another possibility is first using a more generic image manipulation/recognition algorithm to pin down the dice positions, then rotate and scale the image to some form of standard (such as, 512x512 pixel grayscale images of dice which have been rotated to be straight). Then attempt to train 6 different neural nets to recognize the various numbers of dice on screen. AForge.Net is a good solid artificial intelligence (including neural nets) library, and should get you a fair bit of the way there.
