Using Computer Vision to Solve Jigsaw Puzzles

This past Thanksgiving I took a little bit of time to see if I could solve Jonathan Huang's Puzzle. While I haven't yet solved the task since I could only afford to put a couple of hours of work into it, here is a nice debug screenshot of the local puzzle piece alignment strategy I've been pursuing.

In this image I've shown puzzle piece A which is fixed and in red, and puzzle piece B as well as some likely transformations that when applied to B snap it to piece A. If I have more time over Xmas break and I get to finish the final puzzle -- I'll be sure to post the details.
