Question

I read this paper about real-time object recognition, and found it very interesting. I’m currently working on an location-aware app that is similar to the sport of orienteering.

For control point representation (a check point/waypoint) the initial idea was to use QR code scanning to verify a user of having been there; and thereby giving directions to the next control point.

Now it looks much more interesting to use some sort of natural object/scene recognition to verify users on a specific location in a route (if possible and effective).

Does anyone know more about this with specific code examples or experimentation, not just a conceptual presentation of it?

Answer 1

Complex solutions and in early stages of development, prone to inaccuracies. Have a look at OpenCV to begin with.
