AI recognition can help narrow down an object’s category, brand, model or other visible characteristics. The quality of a result depends on the object, the images and the information available. Review the suggested details against the object and its documentation.
From image to record
Open the product and follow the identification flow for your item.
- Provide clear images of the object and its distinguishing details.
- Review the suggested identification. Correct or add information when you have supporting evidence.
- Read the available market references and check how comparable the objects are.
- Save the result to a collection record and add relevant notes or provenance.
Read market references in context
A similar model is not necessarily an equivalent object. Condition, provenance, completeness, sale date and transaction context can all matter. Treat comparable results as research material, not as a guaranteed value for your item.
When professional review is needed
Photographs and AI recognition cannot, on their own, establish authenticity or reveal every condition issue. For authentication or a transaction that needs a formal assessment, seek the appropriate professional review and supporting evidence.
Common questions
Does a successful identification mean my object is authentic?
No. Recognition suggests what an object may be; authentication is a separate evidence-based assessment.
What should I do if the result is uncertain?
Check the images, add clearer views where possible and compare the result with reliable documentation. Keep uncertainty visible in your record instead of treating a suggestion as a confirmed fact.
