Heritage app

A mobile phone app leveraging computer vision enables instant on-device image annotation for heritage sites, eliminating the need for remote server communication. The app uses a Bag of Visual Words (BoW) retrieval system to match images captured at monuments like Golkonda Fort and Hampi Temples against an annotated database, all computations occurring locally. This innovation offers real-time, offline access to historical information, enhancing on-site exploration without relying on network connectivity.
