Cat recognition software?! What has science done...
« on: January 21, 2008, 07:21:05 PM »

I was bored and decided to Google 'image recognition software' and came up with this website about a project called the 'Flo Control Box' which is essentially a cat door that uses a digital camera and image recognition to determine whether the cat (named Flo) has a mouse in her mouth, and prevents her from entering if that's the case.

I got a kick out of it. Linkage

That's all well and good, except that the one of two cats I have that actually hunts, kills things and leaves them in the yard.  Which isn't as much fun as it sounds when it's time to mow the lawn.

 So it's really mouse recognition software, isn't it?

Cherubim is plural; Genesis 3:24 specifies one flaming sword. Presumably flaming swords were in short supply."

I assume she decided to spend more time with real people, and was probably getting bored here. But I don't know that for a fact.
