In Star Wars Rebels, there was an E-XD-series infiltrator droid that could quickly take inventory of everything in a Rebel warehouse. With the advanced object recognition capabilities of modern AI, it’s only a matter of time before an app for Android can accurately and rapidly identify and store objects in real-time from video capture. This could be similar to a home inventory app where users only need to capture video and move around the house instead of taking pictures and labeling items. When do you think such an app will become available? Also, what is the closest app available right now?
edit: I didn’t say offline or on-device, I don’t know why everyone assumes that. I mean a service offered through an Android app.
Think about what Apple currently has: dedicated ML processing chip with multiple cores, and yet the on-device object recognition is still an “overnight while plugged in” process for a single image, and only detects a limited number of object types.
Real-time mobile offline OR is still the mythical “at least ten years out.” It needs improvements in processors, sample sets, training data and algorithms to get to real-time.
