Introduction Imagine an app that lets you scan a document and then gives you the possibility to ask questions on its content. Something like this: This app has several challenges: detecting edges on a document scanning and recognizing the text in the document answering questions based on the content of the scanned document. Such […]
Text recognition on iOS 13 with Vision, SwiftUI and Combine
Introduction This year, WWDC was full of new and exciting features. The biggest one was probably SwiftUI, Apple’s new UI framework. However, there were a lot of other cool announcements, especially in the machine learning and augmented reality areas. Text recognition is now supported directly in the Vision framework. Previously, you would have to create […]
Hand tracking with Turi Create and Core ML
Introduction The task of realtime hand tracking on a mobile device is both very interesting and challenging. The hand is one of the more difficult parts of the body to detect and track. The reason for this is that the hands can look very different, whether that’s with the form (although this holds for other […]
Text recognition using Vision and Core ML
Introduction Machine Learning allows computers to learn and make decisions without being explicitly programmed how to do that. This is accomplished by algorithms that iteratively learn from the data provided. It’s a very complex topic and an exciting field for researchers, data scientists and academia. However, lately, it’s starting to be a must know skill […]
