Abstract

Solving puzzle problems using computer-aided methods is becoming more common with applications in forensic science, restoration, banking system, and multimedia. However, only a few surveys have been published on this topic, the most recent being more than a decade old. The scope of 2D puzzle problems is extensive, and the number of computer-aided methods has increased in recent years. In this paper, we have presented a comprehensive survey to pave a roadmap for researchers dealing with puzzle problems. This study classifies 2D puzzle problems in a novel way, considering many examples such as dissection, combinatorial and double-sided puzzles and reclassifies computer-aided methods to cover the studies carried out in recent years. Various strategies (pre-grouping and global consistency approach) have been investigated to solve the puzzle problem effectively. The computer-aided methods have been examined deeply, including many recent methods related to squared jigsaw puzzles, torn photographs, banknotes, and fragmented documents, and they are compared to each other. In addition, new topics such as combining mosaic pieces and Islamic architectural motif puzzle problems have been proposed to the interest of researchers. In conclusion, our study shows many research opportunities that are not yet solved by any computer-aided method.

全面调查解谜问题
利用计算机辅助方法解决难题在法医学、修复学、银行系统和多媒体等领域的应用越来越普遍。然而,关于这个话题的调查只发表了几次,最近的一次是在十多年前。二维拼图问题的范围很广,近年来计算机辅助方法的数量有所增加。在本文中,我们提出了一个全面的调查,为研究人员处理谜题问题铺平了道路。本研究以一种新颖的方式对二维拼图问题进行分类,考虑了解剖、组合、双面拼图等许多例子,并对计算机辅助方法进行了重新分类,以涵盖近年来开展的研究。为了有效地解决谜题问题,研究了各种策略(预分组和全局一致性方法)。对计算机辅助方法进行了深入的研究,包括许多与方形拼图、撕裂的照片、钞票和碎片化的文件有关的最新方法,并对它们进行了比较。此外,结合马赛克和伊斯兰建筑主题拼图问题等新课题也引起了研究者的兴趣。总之,我们的研究显示了许多尚未通过任何计算机辅助方法解决的研究机会。

期刊介绍: Computer Science Review, a publication dedicated to research surveys and expository overviews of open problems in computer science, targets a broad audience within the field seeking comprehensive insights into the latest developments. The journal welcomes articles from various fields as long as their content impacts the advancement of computer science. In particular, articles that review the application of well-known Computer Science methods to other areas are in scope only if these articles advance the fundamental understanding of those methods.
