A resident of the Zhigulevskaya Dolina technology park (Togliatti) has developed the Golden Nose application, which allows you to find a lost or stolen dog using a photo of its nose. How he is writing Each dog has a unique rhinarium pattern (hairless tip of the nose), which remains unchanged from two months of age, writes “Komsomolskaya Pravda”.
Carving and branding animals is no longer the only way to determine ownership. The Golden Nose app uses a neural network to create a digital pet passport based on rhinaria. This is a more humane method than dismemberment or branding, which can be traumatic for the pet.
To search for a lost dog, simply upload a photo of its nose to the app. If a dog is found, the owner can use the app to contact the person who found the animal.
The app’s creators plan to further develop the app by adding features like access to vaccination history and veterinary recommendations. In the future, they also plan to create a platform where pet owners can find veterinary clinics, groomers, and pet stores.
