Visual scanning and appraisal apps use computer vision to identify physical objects from photos and estimate their condition, authenticity, or resale value. These tools are primarily used by resellers, antique collectors, field inspectors, and thrifters looking for instant on-site insights. Unlike generic photo utilities or basic barcode scanners, they specialize in evaluating unlabelled, unique, or secondhand items to provide immediate pricing and cataloging data.
