Chess Pieces Classifier
The goal of this project is to create a program that takes an image of a single chess piece and output the name of that piece.
This Jupyter notebook creates and trains the model used for the classification and the chess_classifier.py script uses the
model to classify the chess piece in a provided image.
Originally, my project proposal suggested that I would make a program that classifies an entire chess board, however this has proven to take longer than expected and I needed to scale the project back slightly. However, this project could be adapted to classify an entire chess board without much trouble. The only additional step that is needed is to create another program that breaks an image of a chess board into 64 images (1 image for each square on the board) and classify each of the images.
A demonstration and walkthrough of the code is provided in the below video:
