Do you enjoy taking photos of your puppy or dog?
Now you can use the Google Photo app to search for your dog – or cat for that matter – in your photo apps, social media or online by name, breed or by typing in the dog or cat emoji into the search bar. You may already know that Google Photos uses artificial intelligence to recognize people, objects and even specific photos just by typing in the subject. Now, Google is extending this service to dogs and cats.
Google has developed an easier way to aggregate your dog’s photos using facial recognition. This is an improvement in the Google Photo app because it will recognize your pet exclusively. The app is fun and easy to use.
The Google Photo app organizes photos of your dog the same way it already does with people. Just give the Photo app your dog’s name, and the Google algorithm will do the rest. Google has developed the algorithm to recognize your dog even as he or she grows older! You will be able to see your dog grow from puppyhood into maturity, through the lens of your camera. Google will automatically tag and file photos of your dog whenever they are taken, making them easy to find. The really cool thing is that you can use Google’s app to edit and turn the photos into a video, digital photo album or a printed book delivered in the mail.
Google will collect and store all of photos, giving you the ability to view them all in one place in Google Photos. The photos of your dog will be grouped right next to people and you can label them with your dog’s name. So far, the app is only available for dogs and cats, but pet lovers worldwide are advocating for birds, fish and other pets to be added.
Google has indicated they are committed to helping people with photos of their pets, kids, friend and family when they use their photo-taking apps and other photo accessories. For example, Google has developed a camera called Clips that is designed to automate the process of taking photos by capturing videos (without audio) and then using on-board machine learning algorithms to figure out which are the best images.
To get started, download the Google Photo app on Google Play or from the iTunes – Apple App store using “Google Photos”. The Google Photo app is in continual development; new features are being added and the app is being updated all the time. Look for new features to be added in the future.
