Ask HN: Image Recognition APIs / Libraries for iOS

1 points by desigooner 15y ago

Me and my friend are starting to work on an idea as a way to get into mobile development. We wanted to incorporate an image search like Meal Snap or Snooth Wine Pro for some specific products. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction w.r.t. papers, libraries or APIs that could be used for image recognition (iOS as well as Android platform). I looked at Tineye but I find their costs to be prohibitive for a side project. Thanks

I've used Intel's image libs on other platforms and found them to be excellent. No idea how well it works on ios, but according to wikipedia it's supported- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCV http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCV

Face.com, the creators of Phototagger and Photofinder Facebook applications, offers a free face recognition API for photos.
