Methods and apparatus to analyze an image of a portion of an item for a patternindicating authenticity of the item

Abstract

In an embodiment, a method includes receiving a plurality of images having a plurality of image types. The method further includes, for each image type from the plurality of image types and to generate a plurality of subsets of images, identifying a subset of images from the plurality of images being that image type using an image classifier. The method further includes, for each subset of images from the plurality of subsets of images, performing feature extraction on each image from that subset of images to generate features associated with that image. The method further includes inputting the features associated with each image from that subset of images to a trained ML model from a plurality of trained ML models to generate an output indicating whether a collectible associated with that image is authentic or counterfeit.
