What's going on when making trackable

By always19 on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 17:02
I love qualcomm ar sdk. Anyway, Is it necessary process that I upload my image here? Does it improve my image to be tracked easily? If so, how can is it improved? I'm wondering what kind of job it will do for my image. Could you tell me the process in detail? Thanks in advance.

It is necessary to use the Target Management System to turn your images into trackable objects. The system does not make any improvements to your image, it is up to you to provide an image with sufficient detail and contrast for tracking.

It would be great if there was an offline version of the software that provides the tracking data from source images. From experience so far, it seems that the rating that the TMS gives isn't entirely indicative of the TRUE trackability of the target image.

I just was thinking about it, and join this advice. Qualcomm Developers, please, make an API to upload image and get .dat file!!! I can even make an opportunity to rate trackables quality in my app.

P.S. it could be a good idea for startup to make an online API service for making .dat trackables on photo-images, it could be imagemarking.com, it's free now))) Who will make? I have no resources to make it alone.

[QUOTE=arcv]I agree with hybridbuzz and stanislap, an API or an offline version would be great.[/QUOTE] I even believe that it will be a crucial factor for some developers. Imagine you wanted to create trackables of objects in a car factory. You'd never be allowed to send them to external parties.

I would like to cast my vote too. Qualcomm, please make the trackable generation system offline! Why is it only online? It is a super secret algorithm you are using? Come on!
