Title: WolframAlpha Image Identification Project
Post by: SD Mapman on January 30, 2016, 11:35:29 AM
So I found this interesting little site: https://www.imageidentify.com/ (https://www.imageidentify.com/)

I tried some state highway signs and it thinks Colorado's is a floppy disk and New Mexico's is a hockey puck... make of that what you will.

For me, it correctly identified something as "domestic cat".

It says your avatar is a switch :sombrero:.

It has correctly identified a map and a road.

Edit: according to that same thing my avatar is a shoulder patch.

I tried a 6v lantern style flashlight. It said "battery". X-Ray vision, it seems.

A picture of a subway train gave me "locomotive engine".
A picture of a storm drain gave me "grate".
A picture of a potato chip gave me "mop".
A picture of an I-95 shield gave me "first-aid kit".

This is more amusing than it should be.

When you help the machines learn, SkyNet goes online and realizes humans are the problem.   Now stop it.

Here's what I did it with (on the left) and the results (on the right):
EMD SD40-2 - locomotive engine
M6-6 arrow from the MUTCD - paper clip
Some traffic lights on a mast-arm - bridge
A doghouse traffic light at the same intersection - instrument
Inline 4-section traffic light - tower
Railroad crossing signal - hand pump
