Even though we are still deciding on what exactly we want to do, right now we're aiming for an application that will give you information on the buildings and environments you pass by while riding the boat. There are different ways to achieve this, but one is image recognition.
I have been looking at the company Viscovery, who's technology brings results with very high accuracy and can be used in many different situations. According to their homepage, they are Asia's leading visual search brand. Right now they seem to be working mostly towards other companies with marketing and getting sales up, for example using online television to give real-time information about the items appearing on the screen, their prices and where to get them. Viscovery have also worked with a popular convenience store to produce interactive ads that also use image recognition to give information about the products advertised. The technology can also be used in art exhibitions, to give information about the piece and artist, and to, as they phrase it themselves, "break down the boundaries between online and offline shopping" by giving you information about and comparing prices between products as you are in the store.
Even though Viscovery does not seem to have any plans on working on the kind of project we are interested in, the technique seems very useful for what we want to achieve. I also think the ways they utilize it are very interesting and inspiring.
Sadly their homepage is partly in Chinese and I can't seem to find any specific information about the technology they use. Nevertheless, they have broadened my perspective of how image recognition could be used and given me a clearer picture of how ot could be useful to us.
