Chinese AI startup Megvii has developed a dog recognition system based on the fact that the shape of a dog’s nose is like a human fingerprint. It is said that the recognition rate reaches 95% when registered by scanning the nose of a dog from multiple angles with a smartphone camera using the app.
Of course, this app isn’t meant to use something like facial authentication. This is to help you find your lost pet. In fact, it is said that up to now, 15,000 pets can be reunited with the owner through the app.
In addition, this app is expected to play a role in not only returning pets to their owners, but also in connection with the government to correct behaviors of poor manners. It is also possible to monitor irresponsible dog owners who neglect dogs without caring for them or leave them in public places with poorly habituated dogs. Related information can be found here .
