Here is an example of one I received a while back, but haven't included in the daily email because I was afraid it was a bit too niche. "I work in sports photography. A problem I face is that I spend a lot of time grouping and sorting players in uniform. The software I want would read the jersey numbers and tag the image with the players shown in the picture. Then it would allow manual tagging for those with jersey numbers not visible. I would pay for this software."

This sure sounds like an interesting problem. With the likes of AI, Google's Cloud Vision[0] and hopefully many more this sort of thing can definitely become a reality in the near future. [0] - https://cloud.google.com/vision/ https://cloud.google.com/vision/

  I know right? I really loved this one, but was afraid the market wasn't large enough. Maybe I'll send it out anyways. I've had several interviews with folks who are edit/sort a large amount of photos, and there are a lot of needs in that space. A really flexible image categorizer would help a lot of people.

  This sort of thing is not difficult now, and you don't necessarily need to jump to ML. What you do need is someone relatively competent in image analysis. Pulling numbers off a uniform (typically high contrast) is not very complex.

I would take payment to write that software. If you have a need for CV people I may be able to help. Email address is in my user page.

  Just a note, the email isn't actually visible. You need to copy it to the "about" field.

Depending on this photogs tech proficiency I think they could pretty easily achieve this using Amazon Turk or pay for a custom solution using a dev tool like https://www.scaleapi.com/ https://www.scaleapi.com/
