The AI Joe app is very easy and effective to use to identify items for GI Joe figures. Constantly using the camera of the iOS device, it searches for and recognizes objects in real time. (Camera usage must be allowed for the application). By tapping on a detected object in the camera image, the application provides detailed information about the GI Joe accessory. The photo of the recognized accessory can be shared and saved.

AI Joe, as the name suggests, uses built-in artificial intelligence (AI) to identify possible accessories detected in the camera images. Artificial intelligence works similarly to the human mind. It is able to make statements in the present using his previous observations and studies. As a result, the knowledge of artificial intelligence acquired through machine learning is constantly improving as it sees and identifies more and more images.

Like human intelligence, machine intelligence is not infallible. The machine can make mistakes both in detecting and identifying objects. We are constantly improving the application's knowledge so that it recognizes as many accessories as possible in as many situations as possible. The application optionally offers the option to send a photo of the found accessory to the developers, who use it to develop machine learning models.

The recognition efficiency depends on the use of the camera, the lighting conditions and the object's environment (background, contrast, glare). The application provides optimal recognition performance when the object is in front of a light background of white or homogeneous pastel color. AI Joe offers many settings for fine-tuning its operation, it is worth playing with the options.

AI Joe can use the device's GPU, as well as the Apple Neural Engine processor, if available. Using the machine learning model is an extremely computationally intensive task, which is why the device may overheat during long use.
