An app that automatically calculates points just by shooting Mahjong's rising hand with iPhone `` Mahjong camera '' review



Mahjong camera, an iPhone-only application that automatically calculates the most complicated and cumbersome score calculation for mahjong beginners with image recognition when shooting a hand with an iPhone camera , appeared for iOS from June 27, 2018 Did. I actually tried using it to see how accurate it was, and whether it could be used in actual battles.

Mahjong Camera on the App Store

https://itunes.apple.com/jp/app/id1373085967

Open the “Mahjong Camera” page on the App Store, tap “Get” to download. The compatible model is iPhone 5S or later.



When the installation is completed, launch 'Mahjong Camera'. Tap 'OK' when asked to access the camera.



Start up and the top screen looks like this. To use the automatic score calculation function by image recognition, tap 'Score calculation' in the center.



For example, let's scan this rising hand. The child who was standing upright (Reach) was raised by Ron, and one Dora was on board.



Read it with the camera at once. To read, place a tile on top of a hand tile and shoot from directly above, taking care not to capture any other tiles or sticks. The fine tiles and the tiles are loaded into the screen while making fine adjustments, but they are not easily recognized due to scan errors.



If you continue scanning for about 5 minutes while finely changing the height and angle of the iPhone, the scan is finally successful. The scan result will be displayed as shown below, so enter the way to go up, parent and child, bureau, place, home, and dora and tap 'Select condition' on the upper right.



After entering roles and local rules that do not appear on the tiles, such as reach and up, tap “Score” in the upper right.



The score calculation result is displayed like this. After confirming, tap 'Done' at the top right to return to the top screen. However, it is important to note that the ad will be displayed for a certain time when returning to the top screen.



This time, check whether the red tile that is a local rule can be recognized. At the same time, check if the tiles

such as Pong and Qi can be recognized.



I tried scanning with 'Mahjong camera', but no matter how much I imported, the camera recognition still did not progress.



In Mahjong, the clattered tiles are arranged in a slightly devised way to show from whom the tiles were obtained. Was.



Although it took a while, the image recognition managed to succeed.



If I proceeded by inputting the conditions, etc., the score calculation was completed without any problems. However, red tiles are not automatically recognized, so you need to add one Dora manually. Also, the order of the tiles was automatically rearranged.



This time, we will prepare a slightly evil hand that says, 'It

's just like Yao Nine, and if you look closely, it's useful.'



When I scanned it, it was analyzed that it was

waiting for four darkest singles .



The hands were not organized at all, and the hands that were in a random order were automatically aligned when scanned, and the score was calculated correctly.



By the way, even if you can not scan, you can also enter the hand manually. Tap 'Switch Input' at the top right of the scan screen.



After that, tap the tile icon as you do the hand tiles, and when you are done, tap “Next” on the upper right, and it will be a screen for entering the rising situation / condition, and the score calculation will be done automatically.



When you actually use 'Mahjong Camera', it is very convenient to read it and display the score along with the mark / translation. The accuracy of the score calculation itself is high, and it correctly calculates even complex tiles. It is a nice app for beginners because you do not have to do cumbersome and complicated score calculations.

However, the camera's image recognition accuracy is lower than expected, and I am worried that it is necessary to shoot while changing the angle and height of the iPhone little by little until the raising hand is recognized. If you can shoot and scan in an instant, it can be said that it is very useful for beginners to enjoy Mahjong with intermediate and advanced players, but it takes time to scan the tiles with the iPhone every time the hand is raised Could stop and wake up. In addition, the specifications that an advertisement is displayed and returns to the top every time the score is calculated are also strict. However, you can hide the advertisement by charging an additional 360 yen including tax.

`` Mahjong camera '' can be said to be a very useful application for mahjong beginners who do not yet know how to calculate their own score, but there are still a lot of parts that can not be used in actual battles, including Android version distribution , I would like to expect future updates.
