Abstract
Exemplary embodiments for performing server-assisted object recognition and tracking are disclosed herein. For example, in certain embodiments of the disclosed technology, one or more objects are efficiently recognized and tracked on a mobile device by using a remote server that can provide high capacity computing and storage resources. With the benefit of high-speed image processing on a remote server and high-bandwidth communication networks connecting the mobile device and the remote server, it is possible to identify an object and to track changes in the object's characteristics or location, so that a user experiences seamless, real-time tracking.
