The application determines the order of the boules during your pétanque games with a simple capture.

Thanks to its computer vision algorithms, the jack and the balls are automatically detected. Measuring the distances has never been so fast! In the rare cases when the automatic recognition does not work, you can also measure the distance manually

How it works:
1 - Position your phone flat (with the help of the accelerometer) and aim at the jack with the target
2. - Trigger the shot
3. - The order of the balls is displayed. In case the jack or boules have not been recognised, you can select them manually.

Note: The application uses deep learning algorithms. When the recognition fails, you can choose to send the picture in order to provide data needed to teach the model. Thank you

Great app, would definately recommend. I used the app to help score in some ends of BOCCIA. Unlike in Boules/petanque, in Boccia the jack ball is the same size as the other balls but is always white (as opposed to red/blue of other balls). App didn't want to recognise the jack despite centring the screen on it. Simple enough to remove the apps choice of jack and select actual jack, but I just wonder if there is anyway to help the app autoselect the correct jack. Many thanks.

Works really well and is fast and accurate especially if both teams are happy to go along with the app results. However, I recently bought MS coches that have a rough speckled surface and the app seems to have difficulty identifying the coche compared to smooth ones. The MS coaches is competition approved.

Thought it was ok at first. Then I tested the same "end" about 10 times and keep getting different rankings. Yes, I set the boules up to be very similar distances from the coche to stress the app, but you only need to measure when a game is close, right? So if it is inconsistent when it's close, then it's not much use in real life. I will test again in a real game on Saturday, but I am not hopeful 😐

This app is very clever and works extremely well to quickly settle the inevitable arguments about which is the winning boule(s). The colour of the lines are a bit difficult to see against the gravel on our piste but this is not a problem as the app clearly identifies, in sequence, the closest boules to the cochon (1,2, 3 ... etc). Much easier and quicker and equally, or more, accurate than tape measures etc.

Works great but limited by only using one rear camera whilst looking at screen meaning balls must be under 50cm away. Ability to change to front camera or zoom to wide angle camera on pixel would increase field of view..

Seems accurate on a level piste, but doesn't work so well on a slope. Perhaps have an option to place the phone on the sloping floor to set the angle of slope?

Works well so far... Checked against a tape measure several times at today's Ingbirchworth Petanque Club meeting and was correct every time. Been using it for a few weeks and is accurate, so much so that others in the Petanque club have downloaded the app and are confident enough that it's now preferred to using a tape measure.
