And that is not cutting edge technology, it is the technology of today, in use around the world. An artificial intelligence system based on machine learning could do this job much better and much more repeatably than a human ever could. Have you seen the recent commercial where computers pick out snow leopards from images taken by trail cameras? And the comparison of how long it would take a human to go through the same amount of photos? Current image processing technology is way beyond what a human can do with their eyes. Especially for things like noticing flaws in flat two-dimensional objects, detecting freshly trimmed edges or undersized cards and doctoring.

Gee...my facial recognition on my iphone doesn't recognize me if im not wearing my glasses???
