Vintage Item Identifier with CNN

Project information

Vintage / Second-hand Marketplace Item Identifier & Price Comparator

Basic Idea: User takes photos of second-hand items (books, clothes, electronics) – especially relevant to students/people buying second-hand in Ireland. ML model recognises item type + approximate category + suggests price range (using scraped data from online marketplaces like DoneDeal, DoneDeal.ie, etc.). Backend stores user offers/requests; allows search, history, notifications for good deals.

Datasets / Data sources: For generic objects: use general vision datasets such as ImageNet – wide variety of everyday objects & categories. For clothes / fashion: Fashion‑MNIST for a start (though low-resolution, but good prototyping). For more specialized classes, get good coverage from public datasets like ImageNet.
