create a Where's Waldo finder and generator?

[robertleeplummerjr]

This came to me talking about the neural net when explaining it to a friend, might be fun.

Fun, but very hard! I think the way to go on this is to split the big image into smaller chunks (say 100x100 each) and then run a convolutional net over each one of those chunks. Let it classify if waldo is present. A generator is a whole other story though...

[robertleeplummerjr]

Agreed! Progress for the underlying library requirements are here: #39

@robertleeplummerjr were you able to achieve this?

[robertleeplummerjr]

The entire of brain.js v2, which we hope to have a release candidate out by the end of the month, will be the catalyst for this, and I have been working on it for essentially a couple years. I wanted to not just do it, but make it so easy a child could do it.

I was told:

Fun, but very hard!

I want to tell my future self, future @wagenaartje, and future @samparsky: "ha, easy"

We will see, but I know the api, is working, and will give us the wings to achieve this.

I was wondering if the where's waldo generator was completed?

[Hawzen]

That would be very cool
