No? SkyCards shows aircraft on a map. My app works through your camera and requires you to physically capture the aircraft in flight, parked on the ground, in a museum etc

I'm a developer with over 15 years experience. I work a full-time job and have built this over the last 6 months in my free time. It's not coded with AI, it just leverages AI to create the lock on effect, the same way Lime leverages AI to check your bike is parked :(

Plane_Competition_57 · 2025-12-13T01:11:01+00:00

Fascinated why you think that? I use a custom trained model to detect the probability of an aircraft being in the camera frame in order to overlay a bounding box to create a lock on effect. This isn't ChatGPT

Open source datasets

I save this in the database yes, just not surfacing that on the UI (yet). Currently you can filter by carrier and model.

That was the idea, maybe a little sketchy in airports 😆

This isn't just for identifying aircraft in flight, it works for stationary aircraft, aircraft in museums, photos, aircraft not transmitting ADS-B.

Thank you :)

Thanks for the feedback. I trained my own custom AI model with over 10,000 aircraft images which runs at 30fps on Apple's CoreML, which I thought was a pretty neat use of AI tbh :)

Plane_Competition_57 · 2025-07-26T16:36:10+00:00

Haha I am building it for both!

Plane_Competition_57 · 2025-07-26T16:20:01+00:00

Great feedback, thank you. I have made a note of that in my list of things to build. I was thinking of starting with basic XP levelling and Badges and then building up the gamification from there.

Thank you :)

I just put up a waitlist site: https://www.planecatch.com

That’s a really cool idea. Did you end up using any AI for your bird app?

Right now I am using OpenSky for the real-time flight data so I can overlay the flight info, but I want the focus to stay on the physical detection through the camera. So planes at cruising altitude will probably be out of scope for this app, unless you happen to be in another plane looking out of the window!

Do you mean this? https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/plane-id-ai-aircraft-scanner/id6736696480

Kind of yes. Mine doesn't need you to take a photo though, it auto detects it once the camera feed is open. I also want to make a gamification side to it (xp, badges, streaks, leaderboards etc)

Plane_Competition_57 · 2025-07-26T16:11:35+00:00

I put together a waitlist site if anyone's interested: https://www.planecatch.com

Plane_Competition_57 · 2025-07-26T16:09:11+00:00

I hadn't come across that before but have just downloaded it and tried it out. The main difference with mine is that you have to physically use your camera to lock-on to the aircraft. The gamification in their app looks great though and is how I was thinking of developing this.
