Face detection for cats in JavaScript
- buddym 13y agoA js anti cat photo-bombing library! My cat likes to get into every pic we take around the living room (not sure why). I hope this and other technologies could help serve as a strategic deterrent against him - we're on to you :)
- ponyous 13y agoI love it. Hopefully I'll be able to integrate it as chrome extension so I can block all cats on reddit and other sites.
- Houshalter 13y agoOr use it to block everything but cats, greatly improving your internet experience.
- lucb1e 13y agoWasn't this also on HN a few months ago? Or a year perhaps. I definitely remember some sort of cat face detection in Javascript.
- cygx 13y agoIt came up in relation to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5106767 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5106767 (though not in this particular thread)
- molukk 13y agoYes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4584453 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4584453. Looks like it has improved since then. Nifty :-)

- codeulike 13y agoI was thinking that cameras should have this feature - they can detect humans smiling at the camera, but what we really need is a camera that can take a photo of a cat _while_ its looking in the right direction dammit
- scotch_drinker 13y agoI'm pretty sure the Intercat overlords are not going to be pleased. I was thinking about going to TXJS this weekend but think I'll stay home and build my feline shrine to Intercats instead.
- Intermernet 13y agoNow that the Intercats know what is possible, that's probably a good idea. May I suggest a sacrificial ball-of-string alter? Or possibly a cardboard box with a laser-pointer-disco-ball inside (This may be impossible, but try for Intercat's Glory). Cardboard boxes seem to be an integral part of the feline spirituality.
- scotch_drinker 13y agoOooh, I really love that cardboard box idea, not only as a shrine, but as a weekend project for my own Intercats. It may in fact be impossible but I think with the Intercat as my spiritual guide, I've got a good chance.
- Intermernet 13y agoIf you achieve said shrine, can you post photos?
- tesmar2 13y agoIt did not detect any cats in this picture: http://www.fantom-xp.com/wallpapers/20/Four_kittens.jpg http://www.fantom-xp.com/wallpapers/20/Four_kittens.jpg
- RobAley 13y agoThat's because they're kittens, not cats. Duh.
- brianmtully 13y agoThis makes it to the front page once every few months
- Intermernet 13y agoReally, that's surprising, I thought once it made it once it would be bookmarked by every HN cat owner out there. Must have missed it the last few times!
- jgv 13y agoWe made a fun website using this library – http://mycatandi.com http://mycatandi.com
- Intermernet 13y agoTo paraphrase Nathan Hale, I regret I have but only one up-vote to give. Brilliant.
- psionski 13y agoThis could be really useful if it could be integrated with some hardware to make cat doors that open only for your cat... or at least a cat...
- Intermernet 13y agoThankyou!!! I'm going to test this on my 2 lovely kittens (almost a year old now, so not really kittens anymore) and see how it goes. It would be nice if Google (and maybe Facebook) enabled something like this by default, considering the meme-level quantity of kitty photos they must deal with. I'd love it if Google+ tagged my kitties automatically :-)
- yorick 13y agoI wonder how well this would defeat microsoft asirra http://research.microsoft.com/asirra http://research.microsoft.com/asirra
- netrixllc 13y agoOkay, stupid question, what would it take to re-code this for human face detection?
- taytus 13y agoHummm fail? http://screencast.com/t/kxFQ3sBkmCo http://screencast.com/t/kxFQ3sBkmCo
