What’s a Counting Template (and Why It Matters)

Introduction
When you ask someone to count from an image, you also need to explain what to count.

Example
Take a photo of Domino tiles with the dots facing the camera. Should we count the tiles or the dots (pips)?

How the App Works
The app needs the same instruction. A Counting Template tells the app what to look for and what to count.

If we choose the “Domino Tiles” Template, the app counts 12 tiles:
If we choose the “Domino Dots (Pips)” Template, the app counts 46 dots:

Why It Matters
Using the right Counting Template is essential for accurate results. Without it, the app doesn’t know what you want counted and may detect random patterns instead.
