Could you build this?
Partial While standard object detection (YOLO/MobileNet) is accessible, real-time edge-counting of arbitrary repeating shapes and dense overlapping objects requires specialized computer vision models and optimization.
What it would actually take: The app needs an on-device inference pipeline using Apple CoreML or Android TFLite/ONNX Runtime. While standard classes (people, vehicles) leverage off-the-shelf YOLO models, counting repeated dense items (like timber, pills, or pipes) requires specialized density estimation or dot-annotation zero-shot detection models (e.g., Count-Anything/Segment Anything variants) heavily quantized for mobile GPUs. Mobile CV optimization and model fine-tuning are essential.
