Abstract
A method, system, and device evaluate a gemstone using a gemstone imaging and evaluation device. The method includes capturing a plurality of training images of a plurality of gemstones using an image capturing device having a plurality of different focal settings, training a machine learning module using the plurality of training images, capturing a query image of a gemstone, analyzing the query image using the trained machine learning module, identifying a selected feature of the gemstone within the query image, and outputting a notification of the identified selected feature. The system and the gemstone imaging and evaluation device implement the method.
Claims22
A method for evaluating a gemstone from a gemstone image, comprising:
- receiving, at a processor of a computing device having a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and the processor configured by executing a software program stored in the storage medium, a query image set comprising at least one query image of the gemstone;
- analyzing the query image set using a trained machine learning algorithm, wherein the machine learning algorithm is trained to detect at least one gemstone feature depicted within a query image, and is trained based on training image sets for a plurality of gemstones, each training image set being captured from a respective gemstone using an image capturing device, and each training image set comprising a plurality of images of the respective gemstone captured at different focal settings;
- identifying, by the trained machine learning algorithm, one or more of the at least one gemstone feature in the query image set comprising the at least one query image;
- and
- outputting a notification of the identified at least one gemstone feature.
A system for evaluating a gemstone from a gemstone image, comprising:
- an image capturing device having a plurality of different focal settings and configured to capture the gemstone image of the gemstone;
- and
- a gemstone evaluation device, including:
- a processing unit, the processing unit comprising a machine learning algorithm,
- wherein the machine learning algorithm is trained based on training image sets for a plurality of gemstones, each training image set being captured from a respective gemstone using the image capturing device, each training image set comprising a plurality of images of the respective gemstone at different focal settings, and wherein the machine learning algorithm is trained to detect at least one gemstone feature depicted within a query image, and
- wherein the processing unit is configured to:
- receive a query image set comprising at least one query image of the gemstone from the image capturing device, and
- analyze the query image set using the trained machine learning algorithm, wherein the trained machine learning algorithm is configured to identify, based on the query image, one or more of the at least one gemstone feature in the query image set comprising the at least one query image;
- and
- an output device configured to output a notification of the identified at least one gemstone feature.
