Abstract
Various embodiments crowd source images to cover various angles, zoom levels, and elevations of objects and/or points of interest (POIs) while under various lighting conditions. The crowd sourced images are tagged or associated with a particular POI or geographic location and stored in a database for use by an augmented reality (AR) application to recognize objects appearing in a live view of a scene captured by at least one camera of a computing device. The more comprehensive the database, the more accurately an object or POI in the scene will be recognized and/or tracked by the AR application. Accordingly, the more accurately an object is recognized and tracked by the AR application, the more smoothly and continuous the content and movement transitions thereof can be presented to users in the live view.
