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.

      No shit Watson, that’s my whole point. AI as anyone today knows it is cloud based, meaning you’re tethered to the internet. Your device can’t process it all by its little measly lonesome self.

        you should look up what frigate is.

        my desktop gpu can generate ai art pretty quickly too

          Again, we are not discussing generating AI, we are discussing recognizing images from a camera. That requires parallel processing and many terabytes, if not even petabytes of images to compare to.

          You got a petabyte of storage and a 1024 core processor to scavenge through all those images to tell you that the picture of your butt plug looks like a purple booty packer 3000?

            Modern ai only needs those images to learn features and to project that on embeddings. I do not disagree with your assessment but you are talking about reverse image searching and not about neural nets.

            again, look up frigate. its similar although not the same as what you describe.

            you dont need that much hardware to do ai, im not really saying the average joe will train huge intricate models for personal use on his laptop/phone.
