How to Find Wally with a Neural Network – Towards Data Science

Deep learning provides yet another way to solve the Where's Wally puzzle problem. But unlike traditional image processing computer vision methods, it works using only a handful of labelled examples that include the location of Wally in an image. Final trained model with evaluation images and detection scripts is published on my Github repo. This post describes the process of training a neural network using Tensorflow Object Detection API and using a Python script built around it to find Wally. Before starting, make sure to install Tensorflow Object Detection API as per the instructions.
