Russia is developing a neural network to search for missing pets

Russian company NtechLab works over a system for finding lost pets. Testing of the first beta version of the program should begin soon.

The developers have not yet decided in what form to present the technology. Three options are being considered: a free Telegram bot, a smartphone app, or a website.

The service will be simple to operate: people who have lost or found an animal will be able to upload its photo, and artificial intelligence will compare the pictures. In the future, it is planned to connect organizations that are engaged in the search for lost items to it.

The company noted that their technology already demonstrates a fairly high accuracy of recognition of animals of some breeds in the presence of a good quality photograph with a close-up muzzle. But in the case of black cats, she is still experiencing difficulties - for AI they are very similar, the developers noted.

NtechLab was founded in 2015. The company is developing face recognition technology and silhouettes of people, as well as vehicles and license plates.
