my overall goal is recognition of similar, reflective and low-textured monochrome objects in a controlled museum-like-environment. These objects are well designed and visually appealing.
For my understanding this goal is too high aimed when i look at contemporary object and image recognition software like goggles, kooaba, tineye etc..
So i was thinking of placing little markers on the objects and identify the markers. In order to employ AR tracking software the markers need to be black/white and ugly. That would spoil the visual appearance of the objects i'd like to identify.
Do you know of any software that recognizes (arbitrary designed / visually appealing) markers in photographs?
Or; do you think this can be accomplished with openCV for iOS/android devices?
