StripeSpotter wild turns into trackable barcodes zebras

By Christopher trout posted 11th Apr 2011 10: 42 AM we have many stories over the years animals with RFID chips tagging is one, but we have never particularly hot on the idea. Now, a team of researchers with a now has much less invasive nature of the persecution of individual animal-especially Zebras--primarily using their strips as bar codes to come. StripeSpotter as it is known, is an isolated part of a photo of a zebra and it cuts in a number of horizontal stripes. Each is then pixels in the selection completely in black or white cast, and the bands are in turn in StripeStrings, which eventually form a StripeCode, which resembles a bar code encoded. All this information in a database that is stored, to identify certain animals, researchers get ever allowed to close without. StripeCode may be a zebra-centric application for now, but the developers see it a brand in the food chain with the inclusion of other clearly patterned animals such as Tigers and giraffes. Animal tracking hobbyists can get source your own free copy of the application by clicking on the link below.
