Chapter 7 Tagging Objects with the Nokia Point & Find Client Application
Tag an object multiple times from a few different angles and dis-
tances – and under different lighting conditions when appropriate
– in order to improve recognition success of your targets (objects).
Depending on the object, three to ve tags per environmental condi-
tion – day/night, indoor/outdoor lighting – is sufcient.
Include tags with a focus on any logo names or xed images that are
on (or part of) an object, and also include tags with a focus on the
entire object.
Do not focus on small text or areas within the target that may change
over time (as in a window display that will change in a store front).
In summary:
• Tag objects from multiple angles
(approximately 30 degrees each side of center).
• Tag objects from the front and back, close up, and
from a distance.
• Tag objects under several lighting conditions
(day, night, bright, cloudy, articial lights, etc.)
• Include tags for logos or xed images that are part of,
or on, an object
• Do not tag small text areas or images that will
change over time
