Regardless, one thing that seems to stay consistent. Before you can successfully run machine learning algorithms, you’ve got to collect data and store it in some sort of standard file format. Yes, imaging file formats. So this is where more work, and, well, more buy-in needs to be done.
Okay, cool! That means that I would need to proceed by trying to build the… the what? The mass scanning project? The home inventory system? Oh, no, I know! The 3D scanning file format. 3D spatial information system, to gain insight into 3D data, to visualize it.
Crazy or not? Okay, now I found out not. Too lazy to scan the barcodes on objects? Well then you can have machines scan them for you with 3D scanning. Just modify the algorithm to cover the surface topology of the object, or operate across several 2D frames that give full object coverage.
So, this is when people say that even scanning barcodes is too much.
So, not crazy.
