Image-Recognition Meets A Persistent Cat

Posted by timothy on from the lucky-our-cats-are-wimps dept.

DaveJay writes: "The folks at Quantum Picture have set up a system that demonstrates a creative and evidentally very effective use of image-recognition algorhytms: The 'Flo Control' system. It's a pet door that locks out their cat whenever she tries to carry another animal (mouse, bird, whatever) into the house. The system even uploads a picture of each attempt, along with its acceptance or rejection by the system, to their web server so the world can see what the cat didn't drag in."

    So... the poor guy gets his server hammered, bandwidth bill goes through the roof... 2 days later the server is just starting to recover, and BOOM! Hammered again, double the charges, etc... Eep!

    Ah well, maybe they did some upgrades after the first one and now they get to see if it can handle the load any better now. ;-)
