Our Computer Vision Technology

Sketchar has developed proprietary computer vision technology that allows virtual objects or sketches to seamlessly "stick" to real surfaces without the need for markers.

Key features include:

Markerless AR
No specific markers required – just a smartphone camera.
Full Flexibility
Move both the device and surface simultaneously at any angle; the sketch stays perfectly aligned.
Extreme Precision
The virtual sketch remains "glued" to the surface even during extreme zooms, maintaining stability when the environment is out of view.

This innovation ensures a smooth and accurate AR drawing experience on any smartphone.

Sketchar's Drawing Monitor tracking a sketch in progress

Sketchar Drawing Monitoring

2020 · patent US 11,307,731 B2

In 2020, Sketchar launched the first version of Drawing Monitor, an advanced tool for tracking user progress in real time.

This innovative technology analyzes and detects key aspects of the drawing process, including:

Hand Position
Precise detection to understand drawing techniques.
Line Tracking
Recognizes how lines align with virtual templates.
Performance Metrics
Tracks total line lengths, offering insights on user creativity and engagement.

This breakthrough is a critical step toward developing a highly personalized skills training system, revolutionizing creative learning experiences.

Facade Plane Detection

Patent US 11,734,830 B2

Sketchar has developed a Facade Plane Detection method, advancing aerial perspective recognition. This method assumes that facades primarily consist of vertical and horizontal lines in the real world. By detecting these line distributions, it enables accurate perspective transformations.

Key Advantages:

Extended Range
Virtual images can be precisely placed on surfaces up to 100 meters away, far surpassing traditional solutions like ARKit/ARCore, which are limited to about 30 meters.
No Environment Scanning Required
Sketchar's technology eliminates the need for time-consuming scanning processes.

This breakthrough significantly enhances the possibilities for AR experiences in large-scale environments.
