I’m new to object detection - and I find it hard to navigate through all the available solutions. Some frameworks are already a couple of years old land/or limited in functionality, or not intended to use in the browser.

I’d like to build a art/painting detector - think of it as a AI guide for museums. You simply point your phone camera to the art piece and additional info pops up (like audio/text etc) - in a browser webapp which is accessible through a QR code at the entrance.

The object detection algorithm should not only recognize “painting” but also the actual specific painting. As I understand, I need to train a model with the paintings data. I could not find a solution which works browser only and is actually straight forward to use (something like ml5).

I was also looking for image hashing algorithms but hashing the paintings “original” picture and the camera feed (with specific angle/lights/shadow) did not really work out well.

Any recommendations?
