AI now finds the plate, orientation, and A1 corner
Date: October 31, 2025
We’re using AI to detect the plate and wells automatically.
The system identifies plate orientation and marks the corner nearest A1 with a red marker, ready for downstream analysis.
What’s working today
- Plate outline detection across different angles and lighting.
- Orientation awareness: the corner next to A1 is marked with a red marker so the well grid lines up correctly.
What’s next
- Better accuracy on tilted images — improved handling of skew and perspective.
- Robust well-grid detection.
- Mobile performance — speed and memory optimizations for smooth on-device detection.
- Edge-case handling — resilience to partial occlusion and challenging lighting.
