  • Publication number: 20230196706
    Abstract: Systems and methods that provide accessible guidance to users when they are attempting to capture images of an object are disclosed. The accessible guided image capture system evaluates a set of images captured by a capturing device to identify attributes of an object, such as edges, sides, corners, and so on. The accessible guided image capture system uses the identified object attributes to identify a direction in which the mobile device is to be repositioned relative to the object in order to capture better images of the object. The accessible guided image capture system can then use the computed direction to transmit a set of instructions (e.g., haptic signals) to enable the repositioning of the capturing device relative to the object.
