Heritage app
Jayaguru Panda, Shashank Sharma, C. V. Jawahar · 2012
In this paper, we demonstrate a computer vision application on mobile phones. One can take a picture at a heritage site/monument and obtain associated annotations on a mid-end mobile phone instantly. This does not require any communication of images or features with a remote server, and all the necessary computations take place on the phone itself. We demonstrate the app on two Indian heritage sites: Golkonda Fort and Hampi Temples. Underlying our application, we have a Bag of visual Words (BoW) image retrieval system, and an annotated database of images.
