5 Address Detection Mode
5.1 General Description
The StellarTrek device is equipped with a door/address detection mode that allows you to detect
and identify a door and an address number upon arriving at a destination. This feature is made
possible by the camera system, located at the top of the back side of the device.
5.2 Address Number Detection and Recognition
Detect a door and address number with the StellarTrek device:
1. Activate Detection Mode by pressing and holding the Up arrow.
2. In the Detection Mode menu, use the Left and Right arrows to navigate to the item
Address confirmation and press the Confirm button.
3. If you have never used this feature before, and if it is not already configured in the settings,
the StellarTrek will ask you if you agree to send anonymous data to HumanWare to help
us to improve the address detection feature. Follow the given instructions to accept or
decline. You can change this at any time in the settings menu. Go to “System” with left
and right arrows and press confirm. Go to “data privacy” with left and right arrows and press
confirm. Here with left and right arrows, go to “send pictures from address confirmation”.
Pressing confirm will toggle the option between always and never.
4. Point the camera towards the building and pan it slowly. When a door will be identified by
the camera, the StellarTrek will emit beeps. The pace of beeping determines the level of
confidence in which the device identifies a door. The faster the StellarTrek beeps, the more
accurate the door identification gets. The StellarTrek can also give you vocal indications to
help you keep the device well-oriented.
5. When the beeping is at a high pace, press the Confirm button.
6. The StellarTrek will guide you with directional hints (i.e., “Move up”, “Move down”, “Move
left”, “Move right”, “Move farther”, “Move closer”) to align more precisely the camera with
the door. If no doors are detected, the StellarTrek will simply announce “Nothing was
found”.
7. When the camera is aligned with the door with a satisfying precision, the device will
announce: “Stop moving, taking picture”. A double beep will be heard, followed by a
camera shutter sound, indicating that a photography of the door has been taken by the
device. If an address number is included in the image, the device will identify it as well.
8. The StellarTrek announces the detected door and address number. If more than one result
is returned, you can navigate through the addresses by using the Left and Right arrows.
Note: here are some steps to follow for best results when using the address confirmation feature:
Hold your device vertically with the camera facing up. To avoid blocking the camera, place your
hands on the bottom of the StellarTrek, with your thumbs on the front of the device and your other
fingers on the back, on the raised part. This will make it easier to press the Confirm button when
you are ready to take the picture without moving, which could change the final result.
Place the camera in front of you, at the level of your head. Scan your surroundings from left to right
and up and down slowly. The scan should be as wide as possible, sometimes the address is not
facing the driveway.
Feel free to do this several times to determine where the StellarTrek beeping will increase, showing
a high level of address recognition confidence. If you are not satisfied, move slightly to the left or
right.
