Since iOS 11 Core Machine Learning enables every iOS User
to use artificial intelligence machine learning.
- Detect objects and scenes
- Choose machine learning models
- Detect faces and highlight the landmarks in a face
- Voice output
- Online connection not needed - everything runs locally
General:
After the first start you are in object detection mode. Point your camera to
objects and the detection starts automatically. In the top right you can tap on
the settings icon.
For face detection you don't have to choose a model - just tap on 'Face
detection' to switch to face detection mode and on 'Object detection' to return
to object detection.
Settings:
In the settings you can choose a machine learning model from the list. The first
four models are for object detection. The model 'Places205' is for scene
detection from 205 categories such as airport, bedroom, forest, coast and more.
Tap done when you have selected a model. You return to the main screen.
Use the 'Send feedback' button to write me an e-mail with your impressions or
suggestions.
Tip: The detection works bests in lighted environments. You can also search
photos of things or face in the internet and just point your iOS camera to the
photos.
Object detection:
Point your camera to objects. The app will try to detect the object from more
than 1000 categories. Try animals, furnishing, household objects, cars, fruits
and vegetables. The 1st guess is the most likely object description with the
highest confidence. The percentage value of confidence is stated right to the
object description.
The 2nd most likely guess is also stated.
With the slider "Speech threshold" you can set an percentage value. When the
confidence percentage is greater or equal as that value the object will be
spoken. When you set the slider all way to the left speech is disabled.
In the top banner in the camera feed the current machine learning model is on
the left. The frames per second of detection on the right of the banner.
Face detection:
Point the camera at a face or a group of people. For every face the major
landmarks like lower face contour, nose, eyebrows and eyes are marked in yellow.
The lines moves as to move the iOS device.
Face detection only works in portrait mode.
