GemIdent – The Gem Identification Domain Expert

Posted on January 1, 1990 by admin

GemIdent is a gem identification software and data base used in gemology.It should not be confused with a similarly named image recognition program. GemIdent is derived off MinIdent.

GemIdent represents information about gems in a statistical manner and identifies unknown gems with a fuzzy-like matching system.

People. GemIdent was developed between 1989 and 1990 by David Pierre Leibovitz and Heideh Omoumi.
