<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mynamespat, post: 2709377, member: 83738&quot;]Definitely more repeatable (ADD <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).&nbsp; More accurate.. is a bit debatable.&nbsp; It depends on what we consider for accuracy since a computer can still only do what it is programed to do.&nbsp; If an anomaly arises which it doesn&#039;t have a programmed response for it cannot react.&nbsp; A human has the ability to adapt to random variables at a moments notice.&nbsp; </p><p>(for example: on some graded reverse proof coins there are small spots in the fields which don&#039;t have the &quot;cameo&quot; effect.&nbsp; To the human eye these stand out like a red flag.&nbsp; ..but apparently they snuck past the grading company and were given a 70.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen these most often in First Strike designated holders which i have come to assume are graded with their machine.)&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Computerized optics has a huge advantage in fringe areas which are outside of the human eye&#039;s limitations, but I don&#039;t see them replacing standard visual inspections anytime soon.&nbsp; The cost to perform these type operations by computer starts adding up very quickly due to huge consumption of energy and set-up costs.</p><p><br /></p><p>fwiw-Not arguing.&nbsp; I understand what you are saying and I don&#039;t even really disagree. I think we are just looking at it from different angles.&nbsp; It starts getting into a very knitty analysis of what we consider efficient in practical application.&nbsp; I don&#039;t really anticipate this type of tech to be cost effective until <i>true</i> AI exists even as the optics themselves improve. (also... I just find this type of topic fascinating- I really hope one of the photo experts will come around with a direct analysis of current tech vs. human abilities)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>oh.. and one more point I forgot in my past post.&nbsp; In high volume machining one of the largest problems is performing operations without damaging the product.&nbsp; Right now, in order to pump coins quickly thru the high-volume sorting machines, they warsh them (it looks like with some sort of detergent) so the gunk doesn&#039;t clog up the machine.&nbsp; We also tend to see coins which have roller damage around the edges (in the past wheel marks).&nbsp; So, doing this type of thing quickly and efficiently without damaging the coins is also a huge hurdle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
