[EN] Brief introduction to SREngine

Let me introduce my personal project SREngine in English!

[What is it?]
SREngine stands for Scene Recognition Engine, which is a software engine to recognize static scenes of architectures, streets, posters, rooms, and so on. Due to the ability to specify what user is watching in real time in very strict manner, SREngine has applicable to wide range of AR-related applications (AR: Augmented Reality).

[How does it work?]
SREngine is able to distinguish scenes by using original image processing techniques. SREngine is recently implemented on iPhone 3G. The iPhone version is running with SREngine Client/Server edition. At the client side , i.e. iPhone, no additional sensor is needed. Further no marker is needed because the scene itself is the marker.

[Platform availability]
The prototype version of SREngine works quite well on iPhone communicating with the server. It can be said that SREngine is lightweight and the network traffic is relatively low.

[Weak point]
SREngine can recognize static scene only. Even shaded object is discriminated by the engine. Simple scenes cannot be recognized, such as a solid white wall.
