METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR GRADING IMAGES OF COLLECTABLES USING IMAGE SEGMENTATION AND IMAGE ANALYSIS

Abstract: in some embodiments, a method can include augmenting a set of images of collectables to generate a set of synthetic images of collectables. the method can further include combining the set of images of collectables and the set of synthetic images of collectables to produce a training set. the method can further include training a set of machine learning models based on the training set. each machine learning model from the set of machine learning models can generate a grade for an image attribute from a set of image attributes. the set of image attributes can include an edge, a corner, a center, or a surface. the method can further include executing, after training, the set of machine learning models to generate a set of grades for an image of collectable not included in the training set.
