well I want to develop an app that captures through the camera a DVD cover and searches through it’s stored info for a match on that image and then gathers all of the info for the movie from IMDB. I really have got no clue whatsoever on where to start. I started using Qualcomms AR framework for it’s image recognition capabilities but the docs are awful and the forums are quite empty. I was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction. Thanks!

Good Luck! The google goggles app is similar to what you want to try, apart from your only searching movie covers, and that has taken some extremely experienced engineers 3-5years of research to achieve, they do plan on opening up an API for it but who knows when!
Here is an open API for visual search (image recognition): http://developer.iqengines.com/
I havent tried it personally, but might be worth a try, if not just wait for the goggles API!
