What is AI Recognition of Collectibles and how does it work?
AI Recognition of Collectibles is a service created for websites and apps for collectors. It automatically detects and recognizes collectible items, such as cards, coins, banknotes, or stamps.
The service is fully customizable for different types of collectibles. For example, let’s say you are building an app for the automatic recognition of baseball cards. We would use the basic service and add a precise recognition of different cards based on their images, texts or packaging.
We can add tasks that will recognize edition, year, symbols or texts on the collectible items and provide you with tags, that can be used as keywords for search and filtering of items on your website.
Additionally, this service can be combined with other solutions, for example:

Which collectibles can AI Recognition of Collectibles recognize?
As for now, the service is able to detect (and mark by bounding boxes) the collectibles such as stamps, coins, banknotes, comic books and trading cards, as well as antique items.
For collectible cards, the service can identify whether it is a Trading Card Game (Pokémon, Magic The Gathering – MTG, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Lorcana, Flesh and Blood and so on) or a Sports Card (Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, Football, Soccer, or MMA), with several additional features (e.g., signature). It can be easily customized to evaluate images based on your criteria. The full taxonomy of the identification results with all supported games and sports can be found in our documentation page.
For comic books, the service can identify more than 1 million magazines, books and manga – via name, title, publisher, issue number and release date.
The service is constantly expanding based on the requests from our customers.
Can your AI identify or find the exact collectible based on a photo?
Yes, it can. We will create a customized visual search. After that, you will be able to search in your database with image queries or recommend similar items. The visual search will be independent of the origin, resolution, or quality of colours of your images.
The system works via REST API and is able to scale to hundreds of requests per second.
What is the difference between AI Recognition of Collectibles and Custom Visual Search features?
AI Recognition of Collectibles is a basic AI system for detecting and analyzing images of collectibles, such as trading card games, sports cards, coins, stamps, or antique items. It can be combined with a custom visual search solution to find images in your collection based on a query image, recommend similar items, or match and eliminate duplicates in item galleries. This system is always customized for specific customers’ needs.
Custom Visual Search, on the other hand, refers to any custom or customized solution built with our visual search platform. Contact us to discuss your application.

How does the automatic visual inspection of collectibles work?
Visual inspection systems powered by AI depend on the type of data. We will develop a custom system based on your use case. To do so, we will need a dataset of training images from you (representing the images you typically work with). Then the system will be able to detect signatures or package, and analyze scratches or edges of the item. Contact us to discuss your use case.
Can AI Recognition of Collectibles read a text (OCR) or a score from a graded collectible item?
OCR is not a part of the basic service at this moment. If you are interested in it, contact us.
