Find Your Stamp's Value (FYSV) is a website and online platform for the identification and valuation of postage stamps using AI-powered image recognition. The service currently includes editorial stamp catalogues for the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, China, Japan, India, Russia [2] and many European countries. The service regularly releases various philately ratings and rankings, including the top most expensive postage stamps from various countries sold at auctions [3] [4]

History

In 2001 Started as a hobby of one of the founders.

In 2002 first commercial semantic search engine through US stamp catalogue. The main feature was searching by description of images on stamps, inscriptions, numbers and dates, as well as primary colours, which allowed novice collectors, enthusiasts and hobbyists to use the service. [5] [6]

In 2010, the company began work on the first version of Visual Search. The first prototype was released in 2011. However, the level of technological development did not allow acceptable image recognition accuracy to be achieved. And it took the company about 4 years to release the first commercial Visual Search, which appeared in 2015.

In 2017 merged with StampNews.com [7]

In 2017, FYSV received an investment from a private investor.

In 2017, FYSV developed the first commercial visual search engine based on a combination of machine learning and computer vision technologies.

In the meantime, about 145,000 [8] stamps from 57 countries and states are represented. In 2023, users made 30+ mln search requests, 10 mln of which were original text inquiries and 500 thousand were searches by image. [9]
