I'm excited to introduce a new project to the GRF community. As an engineer, I've always been on the lookout for innovative ways to identify and process precious metals. With the advent of artificial intelligence tools, I've decided to harness this cutting-edge technology to develop software that might someday become mainstream.
Notes: Image 3 comes from a thread here in GRF forums https://goldrefiningforum.com/threads/what-kind-of-metal-is-this.34154/
The app provides several languages like English, German, Spanish, French, Arabic and others.
More specifically, I've launched an app named "Is it Gold?" designed to assist beginners in:
1. Identifying unknown materials, whether it be jewelry, dental scrap, electronics, or other potentially gold-bearing metals and even ores!
2. Providing some context about the material, including where, when, and for what purpose it might have been used.
3. Estimating the material's value.
The app utilizes photos taken with a smartphone camera (preferred), but you're also welcome to try photos from the internet, like eBay auctions, etc.
Our developed software is capable of discerning material properties from its color, reflections, and several other parameters. For instance, it can differentiate polished bronze from gold to a certain extent by analyzing a photo.
We're aware of the various colors in gold alloys. This represents a challenge, but it's one that AI can overcome with ample training. The more the AI encounters different types of gold, such as red gold, white gold, etc., the better it will become at determining the composition just by analyzing the image. This might seem like magic, but it's actually the technology of the future.
Please check like and share our (a bit gaga) YT video ! Thank you so much!
What this app is not (and may never be) is a "poor man's XRF."
XRF is a precisely defined physical measurement technology that uses X-rays. It's been engineered to do just that. Our system is more like a newborn baby, learning new things every time it sees and reads something about the test object. It will remember what it has learned and use this knowledge in future tests. At the end of this process, we aim to provide you with your personal gold expert.
This is brandnew AI tech stuff, so bear with use! We know the value estimation is sometimes off, because the AI does not handle a given weight always correctly. That being said, it may use the total weight of an object as gold weight instead of using the portion that is gold or gold plated. We know that, but to ensure that this calculation is always correct, we would have to use a far mor complex and expensive AI. We are testing this at the moment and it all depends on the user and if they are willing to pay for ultra high precision answers or rather have free or low cost preliminary assesments.
Other than that the AI assesment should always provide you valuable information about an unknown object that may contain precious metals!
We're looking for beta testers!
Working with AI technology means: The software learns over time. This marks a fundamental difference from conventional software. The more you use this app, and the more use cases we can examine, the better the predictions will become. So do not expect it to be perfect right from the beginning.
We need your valuable feedback on results, user interface, glitches, and anything that could be improved in the software design to create an outstanding virtual gold expert!
Thank you for your time, and I hope you find this app useful.
