- Baseball autograph collectors checking photographed signatures
- Worth noticing
- It first detects autograph regions, then classifies each against a pool covering hundreds of players; unseen training examples are excluded.
Field notes
The page describes separate model stages for locating signatures and assigning player identities, rather than treating the whole image as one classification. Its player database is accompanied by position and year-range filters, with awards also listed as a database field. A “Submit an Autograph” link is present, and the site says it adds players over time; the extracted page does not show how submissions are reviewed.
