Difference between model targets and object recognition

By kaiyumcg2017 on Sun, 03/11/2018 - 13:25

Hi, in both cases, we track real world rigid objects. So what are the differences between them to be precise? When should I use model target and when should I use object recognition? 

Hello kaiyumcg2017,

Object Targets detect based off the texture features of the object and need to be scanned in using our scanner tool. Model Targets detect based off the geometrical data of the target and require the 3D/CAD model of the object.

Thanks,
