Could you build this?
Partial Building the Next.js photo capture and UI is trivial, but zero-shot or few-shot object detection with interactive point-prompt segmentation requires specialized computer vision models.
What it would actually take: The core relies on interactive few-shot visual counting models like Segment Anything Model (SAM), Count-Anything, or exemplar-based counting networks (e.g., FamNet, LOCA). The architecture needs a high-throughput GPU inference backend (TorchServe, Triton, or vLLM/FastAPI on RunPod/AWS) handling high-resolution image embeddings and prompt-guided mask generation. The challenge lies in sub-second inference latency on arbitrary user uploads without fine-tuning per object class.
