Better (worse?) CAPTCHAs
Larger exercise!
The CAPTCHAs we beat in this example were not as complex as those normally used today. You can create more complex variants using a number of techniques as follows:
- Applying different transformations such as the ones in scikit-image (see the preceding link)
- Using different colors and colors that don't translate well to grayscale
- Adding lines or other shapes to the image: http://scikit-image.org/docs/dev/api/skimage.draw.html
