π AI Card Scanner β Deep CNN Training in Progress
The biggest ongoing project right now is our multi-phase CNN card recognition engine. This isn't a simple "match the picture" system β we've built a deep pipeline that processes each scan through up to 5 progressive phases, each going deeper than the last:
Phase 1 β Game Recognition β What game is this card from? MTG, PokΓ©mon, One Piece, Flesh and Blood, Lorcana?
Phase 2 β Color & Frame Analysis β Card border colors, frame style, finish type, foil patterns
Phase 3 β Image/Artwork Recognition β Deep visual fingerprinting of the card artwork using convolutional layers
Phase 4 β Text & Layout Recognition β Set symbol, collector number, card name region, footer structure
Phase 5 β Fine-Grained Match β Cross-referencing all signals together for the final high-confidence card ID
