Smart Lens

This web application allows museums visitors to create an interactive visual guide that recognizes the details of artworks.

Using a variety of computer vision techniques such as CBIR, classification, and object detection, users can use their own smartphone or tablet as a lens to inspect and analyze details of interest in any artwork.

This innovative application provides multimedia information about the recognized details, making it an intelligent guide to any collection or set of artworks you are interested in analyzing.

Unlike traditional guides that rely on QR codes, Smart Lens requires active and visual engagement from users, making the experience more interactive, engaging and smarter.
