Image target a real bottle

[AkashNan]

Hi,

If I take pictures of water bottle from 4 to 5 angles, and use them as image target, will it detect the image? I have tried with water bottle but it did not detect?

Suppose I go to supermarket and try to scan a soda bottle, will it work if I have image target set from 4 to 5 angles of soda bottle?

Can anybody put some light on this?

Hey man, nah I doubt heavily that that would work. For image markers to correctly pick up, they need to be high quality scans of an image (i.e. not a photo of a real object).

So in your case, you would want a perfect (or basically perfect) scan of the drink label. Then, hypothetically, you could have 8th Wall place some content relative to the label in your app.

In other words, instead of this, you want this.

Something else to keep in mind, only certain kinds of images work well as image markers. So whether the drink in question has a good enough label to use as a marker with is another story entirely... can you paste an image of the label/bottle you want to use? 8th Wall have a page on that topic here:

Hi @AkashNan, 8th Wall now supports curved image targets, which will work for a bottle with a label: https://www.8thwall.com/blog/post/41172588184/introducing-8th-wall-curved-image-targets
