Image Recognition
Published at 7:58 pm, August 2, 2023POCATELLO — A local animal shelter has implemented a quickly developing technology to assist pet owners with finding their missing furry friends – facial recognition technology. The Pocatello Animal Shelter has joined Petco Love Lost, which is a national database of animals in participating shelters. People who lose their pets can file a lost pet report with a picture on the Petco website, and facial recognition will return possible matches with their location. Before this, the animal shelter used pen and paper to file missing animal reports. This created difficulty for the animal shelter because it’s a lot of paper for employees to go through and keep track of.
