My Mom is a Rockface
image database search algorithm able to find almose exact replicas of any image in natural settings | |
The idea is to have a huge database of images of natural
things that tend not to move about too much and use an
algorithm to match portions of these images to images
of
anything else.
So, you can take a picture of you and your mother and
upon
searching find that the dominating lines in
the picture
match
a particular rock face or waterfall scene (notice the
entire scene has to be used and not simply a portion of
the everchanging waterfall) and you are given the
information of where to go to find it for real if you so
choose.
I am confident this is possible with highly sophisticated
tools
that may or may not exist yet.

But how do I break the news to my mother that she looks like a rock face? |
|
| |
Ok, so I definitely changed the title to something
more in tune with the comments. |
|

Pity for those being sent to Easter Island. |

My Mom's got a hairdo that makes her looks like Thomas Jefferson, and she's got a rockface right next to Auntie Teddy Roosevelt (need some work on that top lip, Auntie) |
|
| |
Now you must know that's MY face on Mars!! [+] |
|
| |
Yes but look at Scotland & Northern Ireland on that Mail link! |
|

I've hesitated telling my wife that her hair-curling
habits make her head look the shape of a Mario
Brothers Goomba-guy, but frankly, it does. |

[2 fries], excellent link! It's not a matter of mere coincidence that my mother, an artist, has recently begun doing a series of oil-on-canvas that blend human forms into otherwise landscape paintings. That, and a suspicious ability for people to see faces in natural textures, led to this admittedly simple idea (It seems that searching for unrelated stuff in stuff isn't all that unique). |

[Rayford], she doesn't read the halfbakery, I hope? |

Only every once in awhile, when she's not walking
back and forth on brick platforms in the sky... |
