This should be pretty trivial with OpenCV etc.

Unfortunately, nothing in computer vision's ever as trivial as you might imagine, or as it should be.

But, but... square detection!

No kidding? What's working?

Full writeup coming soon! (I'll comment here with a link, in case it doesn't make front-page.) Getting the lines is not the hard part, but rather, reasoning about the regions enclosed by them to find the panels. I'm not totally satisfied with my current solution (it's a bit hacky), so I'll try to tweak it a bit, but in any case, results will be posted soon.

so you're trying to solve the "upper corner square" of an item, rather than the "approximately first third" of a linear one?

also, i wonder what his UI works like? i bet you can do this in two clicks of a human per comic.
