Domino Tally

This app allows for easy score taking in domino games. Upon launching the app, you can either create a new game or load a previous game. The app will automatically save the information corresponding to a game, so you don't have to worry about losing your data.

The main feature of the app is the game scoreboard, which keeps track of the progress of a domino match. The score after each round of dominoes can updated by using the camera on the device to detect the value of the remaining dominoes. The score can also be input manually into the app using the keyboard.

To update the score using the camera, select the middle icon on the menu at the bottom of the app, select the team that scored and hold the camera parallel to the dominoes and take a picture. If playing in a dark room, enable the flash within the app. If the background of the table is not a solid color, it may interfere with the image processing. In this scenario, results can be improved by placing the dominoes together in a rectangular grid and bringing the camera closer to the table. The app is designed to work for white dominoes with black dots.

The image processing necessary for counting dominoes using the phone's camera uses OpenCV. The app will ask you to download OpenCV manager from the Play Store the first time you try to input a score from an image. OpenCV manager will make sure that the correct image processing libraries are downloaded for your particular device.
