Microsoft released a new Web and iOS application named Fetch, which can find what kind of dog is it from a picture. This is a Microsoft garage project. Earlier we have covered another Microsoft Garage application named Send, Microsoft Send, an email based messaging platform. This is based on the Microsoft Project Oxford which uses artificial intelligence to do small funny things . There are many APIs available under Project Oxford.
So how Fetch work ?
Web
You can upload a dog photo, or can search on Bing (just like small dog, big dogs etc. to find the photo matching your dog) and it will display the Dog breed name and the basic specifications of the breed. As you can see, I have uploaded my dogs photo and the result is given above.
