چکیده
A nonogram is a logic puzzle where one shades certain cells of a 2D grid to reveal a hidden image. One uses the sequences of numbers on the left and the top of the grid to gure out how many and which cells to shade. We propose a new technique to solve a nonogram using compressive sensing. Our method avoids (1) partial ll-ins, (2) heuristics, and (3) over-complication, and only requires that we solve a binary integer programming problem.

A Reasoning Framework for Solving Nonograms
Nonograms, also known as Japanese puzzles, are logic puzzles that are sold by many news paper vendors. The challenge is to fill a grid with black and white pixels in such a way that a given description for each row and column, indicating the lengths of consecutive segments of black pixels, is adhered to. Although the Nonograms in puzzle books can usually be solved by hand, the general problem o...
متن کاملColored Nonograms: An Integer Linear Programming Approach
In this paper we study colored nonogram solving using Integer Linear Programming. Our approach generalizes the one used by Robert A. Bosch which was developed for black and white nonograms only, thus providing a universal solution for solving nonograms using ILP. Additionally we apply a known algorithm to find all solutions to a puzzle. This algorithm uses a binary cut to exclude already known ...
متن کاملSolving Nonograms by combining relaxations
Nonograms, also known as Japanese puzzles, are a specific type of logic drawing puzzles. The challenge is to fill a grid with black and white pixels in such a way that a given description for each row and column, indicating the lengths of consecutive segments of black pixels, is adhered to. Although the Nonograms in puzzle books can usually be solved by hand, the general problem of solving Nono...
متن کاملCompressive Sensing and Information Theory
In a series of recent work [5, 4], the theory of compressive sensing has been examined from an information theory perspective. Novel results regarding noisy compressive sensing have been found while viewing the compressive sensing problem as a communication channel. This perspective led to a new approach of solving the compressive sensing problem through a Bayesian approach. Belief propagation,...
