Image Tracking

Hi,

I'm working on an app uses image tracking to place a 3d object and "attach" it to the real life image (nothing new). I have playing cards that when detected by the device display a 3d object. In the past I've used ARToolKit for this, but I think that's been shut down. Vuforia seems very pricy for simple image tracking, I know it does a lot more and so the price makes sense for the full suite of features. Same for Wikitude.

Can someone recommend a solution?

I don't need to upload images to a remote server, the images are a fixed amount. I'm thinking of using OpenCV and this example -> https://assetstore.unity.com/packag...ar-example-77560?aid=1011l4ehR&utm_source=aff

Thoughts?

Thanks!

 

It seems that the example still needs a paid plugin.
You can try easyAR (https://www.easyar.com/view/sdk.html), unless you are using 3d model target tracking, it's free (not sure with or w/o watermark though)

 

Hi, thank you for your reply.

Yes, the example I shared requires the purchase of OpenCV which is $90, but much less than Vuforia.

EasyAR is free, but the pro version is as much as Vuforia. And it looks like I would need the pro version since I need to track a dozen different images, not simultaneous, but there are 12 potential cards to look for.

 

bump! any updates on this? could you find any solutions?

 

I used Unity's ARFoundation for image tracking, it's working very well for us.
