A Dunedin company has announced they are developing facial recognition for sheep. Iris Data Science is working on the facial recognition instead of costly electronic identification or ear tagging of animals. The project has received a $40,000 grant from Callaghan Innovation and the company is aiming to prototype the software this year. Sheep face images are collected and fed into a machine-learning model which learns how to identify sheep by finding recognizable features. It is the same facial recognition technology is on humans in the airport.
