Okay, I'm not sure why people use software to do the work that hardware has solved decades ago. Like, I know that pearls come in various shapes, sizes, and weights but they're discrete objects. I would have assumed a simple machine similar to an egg counter would've already been on patent for such uses just for pearls. I mean the ML use case is still neat but I always feel that people always grab computers for the wrong reasons for tasks that aren't that novel. Just my two cents.

Wouldn't an egg counter be much more expensive? To say nothing of customizing it for pearls.

Hardware also has errors. This is a task of a keeping record, verification process.
