Hello, i have made an AWS Custom Labels model and i want to send images to it via my phone(Android 11) is OpenCV an option for me? I would also greatly appreciate also if someone can tell other solutions for this problem which don`t use OpenCV. Thanks in advance!

OpenCV is not a camera app or a tool for sending images anywhere… It is a library someone would use to build a recognizion program like the one you use, including simple capturing of video streams - but for that, Android already has APIs and open source camera apps for building a custom app.
