Introduction and Project Summary

Our project aims to help digitize the analysis of poker in real-time. Poker at a professional-level requires an in-depth understanding of the current state of the game. Primarily, our system image and classify cards as they are dealt.  This information will be displayed to a web interface for audience members/commentators to watch the game unfold. The information will also be tabulated at the end of the game for further review and analysis.

Normally this is achieved through small cameras in or around the rim of the table (as seen above) however this is not automated and requires a technician to manually review the footage and update the cards accordingly. Our system will fully automate this process.
