    Hi.

    In what plugin/sdk can I use random image (for example, downloaded from a user file or from the Internet at runtime) as a marker (target) for the augmented reality?

    Target platform: Android, iOS

    Almost all of them. Vuforia is pretty easy to get going with.

    Moodstocks is amazing for ultra fast recognition, but no native Unity integration.

    PS I think there's an AR/VR subforum.

    Vuforiya need to upload images to their site (via HTTP Request) to processing. We may not be the Internet.

    I don't think there's anything that does marker recognition without post-processing in a performant and accurate way. You could look to do the post-processing on the device though (will likely take some time).

    Maybe try something open source like ARToolkit so you can manipulate the feature generation.
