Microsoft new ‘Fetch’ app helps you to identify your dog breed from photo
TT Correspondent |  |  12 Feb 2016

Microsoft on Thursday announced the release of new app called Fetch! for iPhone users. The app allows users to take a picture of a dog you see or photo library, it can identify and classify dogs by breeds and tell you what kind of human personality fits best with specific breeds.

Released through the Microsoft Garage just in time for the American Kennel Club’s Meet & Compete and the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, this mobile app demonstrates the potential for Microsoft researchers’ continued advances in artificial intelligence.

“There was an interest in creating a framework that would allow you to take a domain – in our case, dogs – and recognize numerous classes, such as breeds. We were interested in enabling an app to allow you to make object recognition extraordinary, fun and surprising,” says Mitch Goldberg, a development director at Microsoft Research whose Cambridge, U.K based team built the experience.

If the dog’s breed is unknown, the app will show a percentage of the closest breed. Tapping the percentage rosette leads to the top five breeds that could be in the dog. Clicking on the arrow in the corner leads you to more information on the breed.

You can also use this app when you are going to take out when you are with your friends, its description reads. "You'll make fun of each other, comparing which breeds you look like, and posting the tagged photos" as well.

The new app called Fetch is available for free in the App Store, and you can also play around with it online at What-Dog.net.
