AR Image Recognition

News & General Discussion
1

Hello,

I want to make an AR game using my mobile device camera.
The camera will interact with pictures, eg. a Lion’s picture, camera will interact with the picture and recognize it as Lion’s picture, then the Lion’s animation will run. We will provide the specific pictures for client to scan.
My question is, how the camera will recognize the picture, what picture it is.

Best Regards,
M.Aqib

Depends on the AR library you’re planning to use, but generally you’d need to ‘train’ the image. This means determining a number of features in the image you want to track and storing this as data, which the app can recognise from video at runtime- Vuforia has an interface to upload an image, and then download the resultant data for placing in streaming assets.
