This repository provides our code used for the paper: Augmenting Public Bookcases to Support Book Sharing

Our contribution includes:

• Dataset: Download the dataset
• Application: In folder android_application you find the Android application that was created by Thilo Schulz during his Master's thesis. The app is optimized for use with a Samsung Galaxy S9 smartphone.

The dataset and repository is licensed under MIT licsense

Our dataset includes:

After the download, add all images to the corresponding folders. The download is not neccessary for installing the app. The .csv-file located in android_application/app/src/main/assets/book_spine_data.csv already provides precalculated features. The dataset is licsened under MIT licsense.

• Download the dataset
• Put the downloaded images in the corresponding folders
• Put your book spine .png images into the Spines folder
• Then open the file book_spine_data_no_color.csv
• Add title,subtitle,author,publisher,genre,filename
• The filename is the name of your added book spine image
• You can leave unused fields blank but you should at least enter the book title.
• If you want to recalcuate all features, simply run in a terminal python create_data_set.py
• If you want to add books change the target .csv-filename filename_result in create_data_set.py and run the file
