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."

    All Troll + "offtopic" mods are meta moderated as "Unfair", because you abused the system.

    So why does slashdot? There are thousands of submissions, and yet this happens all the time. If you're getting bored of working on the site, just quit, I'm sure there are hundreds who would jump at the chance.
