Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“Grading images of collectables can be useful to, for examp le, assess the value of assets. Grading imagesof collectables can include, for example, grading different segments of the images, such as segmentsrepresenting corners or edges of a collectable. Known methods of appraisal, however, can be labor-intensiveand costly. Thus, a need exists for apparatus and methods to acc urately and efficiently grade collectables.”
