Interesting example of how a hard problem (image recognition/understanding) can be faked for some cases by solving an easier problem (lookup table, a few hours of manual intervention.)

Erm.. even there were some computer vision algorithm involved, he would probably want to run it offline.

So there's no advanced computer vision algorithms involved :(
