HUAWEI HiAI Enables SketchAR with Exclusive Enhanced Drawing Experiences - Huawei Developers

1. What is SketchAR?
As a fully-fledged tool for teaching drawing, SketchAR can put virtual images on a surface to let users trace drawings from the phone. Also, the app detects users’ drawing and release learning tips for drawing improvement accordingly.
2. Update Pain Points
SketchAR used to receive user complaints about the speed and accuracy of object recognition. Successfully recognizing surface as canvas is a prerequisite for users to draw with the app, thus, low recognition speed will result in negative user experiences as the waiting time is rising. Besides, the virtual images frequently lost because of the unstable recognition of surface, as a consequence, drawing is often interrupted and learning tips are not responsive enough.
High waiting costs: Most phones cannot attain a fast recognition speed, therefore, it increases the waiting costs as the users have to wait until the surface is successfully recognized.
Drawing is interrupted: The loss of virtual images will interrupt or even terminate users’ drawing.
Unstable learning tips: Learning tips delay or lost due to low recognition accuracy.
3. Solutions
With HiAI Foundation’s heterogeneous scheduling and NPU acceleration, SketchAR improves the processes of recognition by over 40% on HUAWEI NPU smartphones, bringing about enhanced enjoyable drawing experiences
Decrease waiting costs: With HiAI Foundation chip open capabilities, SketchAR accelerates the algorithms of neural networks, improves the recognition speed significantly and thus decrease the waiting cost of users.
Smooth painting and responsive guidance: greatly reduce painting interruptions or guidance delay caused by slow speed or low sensitivity in recognition process.
