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.
