Class

ARImageAnchor

Information about the position and orientation of an image detected in a world-tracking AR session.

Declaration

@interface ARImageAnchor : ARAnchor

Overview

When you run a world-tracking AR session and specify ARReferenceImage objects for the session configuration's detectionImages property, ARKit searches for those images in the real-world environment. When the session recognizes an image, it automatically adds an ARImageAnchor for each detected image to its list of anchors.

To find the extent of a recognized image in the scene, use the inherited transform property together with the physicalSize of the anchor's referenceImage.
