How efficient can Artificial Intelligence be when it comes to photo culling – Episode 2

Introduction A year ago, I have defined an estimated efficiency of AI photo culling. In the meantime, the company I am leading, Camera Futura, has made further improvements on their flagship product, Futura Photo, and it is now possible to refine this estimated efficiency. The rates of “false positive” (FP: wrongly detected to be discarded, painful) and “false negative” (FN: missed…
