Shredded Paper To Be Re-Assembled By German Researchers

German researchers said Wednesday that they were launching an attempt to reassemble millions of shredded East German secret police files using complicated computerized algorithms. The files were shredded as the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and it became clear that the East German regime was finished.

This is one advanced algorithm! It detects shape, texture, color and of course, the text on the paper. Even though it’s easier with a computer, they believe that 400 out of the 13,000 sacks of paper could be reassembled in two years time.
