When the photographed page is not recognized (Match Not Found):
The cause may
be any of the following:
1. Insufficient amount of light when taking a photo (taking a photo at
dark location)
2. Lack of focus or shaky camera resulting to a blurred photo
3. Captured page portion not supported after all
4. Capturing too near the printed material (very little amount of information left), or too far from it (several unnecessary portions included)
To make the recognition easier, take a photo
at a bright location with proper focus (not blurred), and maintain some distance from the page (around 15cm away, in case of magazine or some other printed media).
-
