Model Card for Model ID

<!-- YOLO‑based single‑class photocard detector trained on 156 hand‑annotated images. Designed to detect selfie‑style photocards (~55×85 mm) in real‑world scenes. Achieved 97.4% mAP@50, 94.4% precision, 94.8% recall -->

This modelcard aims to be a base template for new models. It has been generated using this raw template.

Model Details

Architecture: YOLO object detector (Roboflow hosted training)

Task: Single‑class object detection

Output: Bounding boxes around photocards

Intended use: Stage 1 of a photocard processing pipeline (cataloging, classification, pricing)

Model Description

• Developed by: Priya Rasal
• Model type: YOLO object detector (bounding box detection)
• Finetuned from model: Pretrained YOLO backbone provided by Roboflow

Uses

Direct Use

Detecting photocards in images

Cropping photocards for downstream tasks

Preprocessing for classification, cataloging, or pricing systems

Identifying photocards in cluttered or real‑world scenes

Downstream Use

Photocard classification (e.g., identifying the idol or version)

Marketplace automation (auto‑detecting cards in listings)

Inventory management for collectors

Dataset creation for future models

Out-of-Scope Use

Detecting people or faces

Identifying which idol is on the photocard

Detecting non‑photocard rectangular objects (phones, books, receipts)

Any biometric or identity recognition

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

May detect rectangular objects as photocards in rare cases

May miss photocards with extreme glare, reflections, or occlusion

Performance depends on lighting and background diversity

Only trained on 156 images — limited exposure to rare edge cases

Not suitable for identity recognition or personal data analysis

Recommendations

Use a confidence threshold appropriate for your application

Validate predictions manually in high‑stakes use cases

Retrain or fine‑tune with more diverse data for improved robustness

How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.

from ultralytics import YOLO
