{"id":85450,"title":"Dragoneye - More detailed object detection than Google and Amazon!","tagline":"We offer vision object detection for 13k+ classes right out of the box.","body":"Hey YC! I’m Alex, founder of Dragoneye. \n\n**I want to share with y’all the launch of our object detection platform, which can recognize 40x more classes than Amazon Rekognition and 20x more than Google Vision across a wide range of categories.** \n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=85450\u0026key=user_uploads/818332/45a1bd0a-16f7-4061-9c0e-ebd5a586450f)\n\n# **The Problem:**\n\nYou’re building a new feature that relies on the ability to recognize things in camera or photos. But all of the off-the-shelf APIs today don’t get the detail you need. You don’t just need to know it’s a dress, but that it’s a checkered short-shift dress! \n\nYou look into how to train your own computer vision model, but you soon realize what a daunting task it is. There are thousands to millions of photos to collect, and it takes weeks of time. What can you do?\n\n# **Our Solution:**\n\nWe want to have the best visual recognition API out there, and enable devs to build powerful vision-driven features in a pinch.\n\n**What we’re focused on:**\n\n* **Latency** - our fastest models can detect objects in 12ms\n* **Detail** - 13,000 different classes over 25 categories now, and we aim to get to 100,000+ by the end of 2024\n* **Implementation ease** - under 10 lines in Python \u0026 JS and a simple REST API\n\nSeeing is believing - pun intended - so here is our side-by-side comparison with Google’s Vision API and Amazon’s Rekognition\n\n![](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=85450\u0026key=user_uploads/818332/aa480801-a466-48a9-89a4-1e0bbb8fc9e7)\n\n![](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=85450\u0026key=user_uploads/818332/f6058fa7-c804-4c68-a282-9faab8873005)\n\n![](https://bookface.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=85450\u0026key=user_uploads/818332/4c0c954f-c1c0-4382-8d3d-9998404b461d)\n\n# **Our Ask**\n\n1.
