Camer app CSS Recognizer

Lurker
Would you like to test this app. Once equipped, your droid will be able to learn shapes and objects from its surroundings.

You can get it in the play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xiegeo.cssr

What do I need help with:

Devices testing: Starting the app should start the camer preview in landscape orientation. On the top left there should be overlay text "First Library:" and a counter. The counter should jump a fell times a second.

User interface: Idealy the app should be intuitive to use. And the help files should cover everything a user need to know. How well do you think the app stand up to this? Any suggestions for imporments? Any confusions in the help files?

Thank You Very Much for taking a look. Please reply even if you just got it running.

- How does it work?

The app will start not knowing anything. For your droid to learn, it will require much help from you. You will teach it shapes for it to match. The matching algorithm used is Curvature Scale Space, hence the name CSS Recognizer.

- How to Use

Play around with the camera, you should be able to find objects, such as toys, symbols, or hand gestures, that the app selects with little to no artifacts. The object can be anything that fits inside the view of the camera. Complex backgrounds, backgrounds with colors similar the object, shades, and highlights might confuse the selection algorithm.

Once the app finds a good selection, click on the center of the screen and teach it the name of the object or the name of the shape. Find other objects and repeat.

Point your camera back to a learned object, now the app should tell you what it is. If it does not, just teach it the intended name again for reinforcement.

For more details, there is an in-app help page.
