How to enable or improve a specific instrument's Shape recognition

If an instrument is not Shape-enabled, or cannot be reliably identified by Shape, any user may submit Computer Vision photos via SID on mobile device.

Look for the blue eye icon to determine whether an instrument is Shape-enabled.  

In the example below, OP0911-951 is not Shape-enabled, but BD860R is.

First, select the menu and then Capture more images.

Next, select Images to train computer vision.

Now simply follow the on-screen instructions to capture and submit images with your mobile device.

Please note that our team reviews all submissions for quality and accuracy.  It may take a few days for your image captures to be approved and available for Shape recognition.
