iOS CraftAR Cloud Image Recognition SDK
Our Cloud Image Recognition SDK sends images through the Image Recognition API to the CraftAR servers and returns instant responses on collections of all sizes – even ones with millions of images. Our Image Recognition technology offers outstanding accuracy even in non-optimal conditions and our global server infrastructure ensures fast and reliable responses.
Because the heavy processing is done in the cloud, your native iOS app can remain slim even after adding this high-tech capability.
We want to make development easy for you. To integrate the CraftAR iOS Cloud Image Recognition SDK into your native mobile apps, we provide an iOS Framework that you can directly import into your XCode project.
This page gives you pointers to the Tutorials you should follow to integrate this SDK; the documentation of the Classes; how to run the Examples; the Requirements of your system to use this SDK, and finally, Release Notes of our continuous updates.
How to get started with the SDK
In order to get started with the SDK, we recommend you to run the examples included in the distribution that you can download upon request (see button above). The examples are located in the Examples directory as an xCode Project.
Running the examples
The SDK is already linked in the project, available inside the distribution package. You can open it and just run the project from your device (note that running inside the Simulator is not available with the SDK).
Follow this tutorial for instructions on how to integrate the iOS Cloud Image Recognition SDK into your xCode projects.
Requirements
To integrate the iOS Image Recognition SDK into your native app, you will need Xcode 7 or newer, and at least iOS 8.0.
