Tech Link: Birdwatching just got easier

Birdwatching just got easier- well, easy if take photos of the birds you see. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Visipedia are collaborating to develop computer vision technology to identify birds in photos.

Here, I use a photo of a Robin (I knew what it was by easy identification) and tested it out. The site takes you through uploading an image, selecting the area where the bird is, and you then select the tip of the beak, the eye, and the tail end. Once done, it will search through the records and find the answer.

This was just through the site, but you can also download the app for iPhone, iPad, and Android. But fear not, the web based service also uses photos, so you don’t need a smart phone to use- just a photo.

If you like this post, don’t forget to like, comment, and share.

Smart Phone Camera Tip

A Smart Phone can be incredibly useful for people on the go. This web site lists 10 Snapshots You Should Keep on Your Phone, but you can use the camera for so much more.

I snap photos of things I want as gifts for myself or others, or even things I’d like to try my hand at making myself.

I take snapshots of prices to add to a price list at home, to see what the best deals are in my town.

I will take a photo of a recipe, in case I need to buy ingredients when I’m out shopping.

I also take photos of areas in my house I want to decorate, seasonally. That way, I can check on size and space for items, as well as color and lighting.

What kind of thing can you think of to use your camera? Post in comments.
