Abstract(in English) This paper reports recognition of Shogi phase images captured by a smartphone and transferred to our server. In these days, Shogi is played by a lot of people and some “Shogi AI” are available for evaluating Shogi phases. In order to use them, however, the users must input configurations of pieces in a Shogi phase to them, which takes time and effort. Our system is aimed to solve this problem. It has three parts: the detector of a Shogi board, the recognizer of Shogi pieces on the board and the recognizer of Shogi pieces beside the board. This system achieves 90% detection of the board by LSD, 99% recognition of pieces on a board by CNN, 73% precision of pieces and 97% recall of pieces beside the board by YOLOv3. We are availing this system for free. There remains work to improve the performance through accumulating data and analyzing problems revealed.
