One of the goals of mirage engine (new name) is for it to work on multiple systems at once. So we made the library now work for both computers and android mobile phones. Without change the library now it can run matching algorithms for both. In order to do this we used Binary Descriptors. Binary Descriptors used much less data and worked much faster than the locality based descriptors. Which allowed us to use it on a phone, but give us the speed need to run it on a large set of servers.
Right now our engine runs both our android mobile application and our rails app at trymirage.com. Hopefully we can find a way to extend it to other systems so that more people can more easily make image recognition applications.
