How to photograph a coin/banknote for optimal recognition
To achieve the best results when recognizing coins or banknotes with Maktun, follow these simple recommendations:
1. On a white background: Place the coin or banknote on a clean white background, such as a sheet of white paper. This helps to distinguish the object and improve photo quality.
2. Keep the phone parallel: For a clear image, hold the phone parallel to the surface of the coin or banknote.
3. Check for clarity: If the image is blurry or unclear, take another shot. In low light conditions, use the phone's flash, which you can activate directly from the app.
4. Proper distance: It’s not necessary to hold the phone very close to the object. The important thing is that the coin or banknote is fully within the frame on the app screen. Ensure the object does not extend beyond the frame’s edges.
5. Turn off flash for reflections: If the flash reflects off the coin like a mirror, turn it off.
6. Recognition limitations: Remember that Maktun does not recognize tokens, medals, replicas of non-existent coins, stamps, and other objects.
By following these guidelines closely, you will increase the likelihood of obtaining precise and satisfactory results when recognizing your coins and banknotes with Maktun.
