Currently you must upload the actual image file, irrespectively whether you use the Management API or the web panel. However, if you already have your own tools for downloading image files from urls you can extend them with our Python or PHP scripts for image file upload.

Most types of objects can be identified with our Image and Object Recognition technology.
Image and Object recognition can be performed on objects such as:
CD/DVD and book covers
Newspapers and magazines
Logos and branding
Posters and Packaged goods
Monuments and landmarks
Objects which have a repetitive pattern like a wooden table or

Our SDKs include a synchronization feature to keep on-device collection bundles up to date.
“Sync” compares the collection on the device with the one stored in CraftAR and downloads the items that have been changed.
This method works on all our SDKs. However, at the moment it does not download the augmented reality contents. We recommend its use fo

YES. Both CraftAR service and the SDKs, (Android & iOS AR and Pro SDKs, and Cordova SDK) support videos edited in a special way to include a transparency mask. To know more about how we support videos with transparency in the CraftAR Service and in the SDKs, see how to add videos with transparency to Augmented Reality with CraftAR .

Yes, as our service allows image recognition applied to your own database. In order to create collections and add items to those collections, you can use the CraftAR web panel or the Management API.

Our service performs the recognition within less than 500 ms.
The total recognition round-trip depends on your network bandwidth. Normally on Wi-Fi and 4G you get the results within 600-800 ms. On 3G the round-trip varies from 1 to 2 seconds.

A Token is a string of characters that uniquely identifies the collection of images that you want to search through. Tokens are used in the Image Recognition API, in the CraftAR Mobile App, and in the CraftAR mobile SDKs to specify that collection.
If you’re trying to find the default token for your collection, follow these steps:

Tags allow you to group items inside a specific collection. Then, you can create on-device bundles including one of those subsets. (You can download several on-device bundles to a device, but you can only use one tag for each bundle.)
You can assign tags to specific items based on the logic that your app requires. For example, you can differentiat

CraftAR offers two types of search modes in order to pass queries to the SDKs and search the image database:
Single Shot Mode search
Finder Mode search
Both search modes are supported in all our Image Recognition SDKs, plugins and libraries. Deciding which scan mode you would like to implement in your mobile or web app depends on your u

This article applies to both the Image Recognition SDK and the Augmented Reality SDK.
Our mobile SDKs have an option to send Cloud Image Recognition queries to your back-end instead of sending them to directly to CraftAR. This is useful for implementing some custom application logics on your server. Of course, you also need to forward them via
Receiving the metadata associated with the recognized items is optional. A specific metadata field (e.g. custom data) can be included using a corresponding parameter in the recognition requests.

Cloud image recognition works by leveraging a server in the cloud that takes on all the heavy duty processing. First, a user takes a picture with their smartphone and this picture is sent to the server. Second, the server compares that picture with the corresponding database of images. And finally, the server responds to the app with the content (U
