Conclusions

• Image links are possible!
• The webcam was slow to grab under Linux but the
  quick response from the server made the system
  quicker than expected.
• But they might be unreliable?
• We only used one algorithm and the top hit was
  not always the correct one. It must be 100.
• Needed a weeks work!
• Not bad at all
• How long would it take to get a palmtop going
  with Wifi AND a camera?
