Every pet owner has tons of pictures of their furry friend on their phone, but now, you can find actual paintings that looks like them.
Google’s Arts & Culture app has a brand-new feature that will find your pet's twin in a piece of art.
Back in 2018, a similar feature for human faces saw over 120 million selfies uploaded.
Now, you can compare your cute pet photo to artworks from museums and artists around the world.
Google's trained computer vision algorithm will then evaluate the image to determine what type of creature it's looking at.
A machine learning algorithm will sift through thousands of artworks to find animals that "look most similar."
Then, you can flick through a library of possible matches and the percentages, find out what collection the art is from, and view the original piece too.
If your pets aren’t in the mood for a selfie, there’s a function to upload an image that’s already in your library.
It doesn’t always work on certain animals though, as reported by Mashable, who tested a stock image of a mouse and got back paintings of wolves.
In a Google blog post, Michelle Luo, product manager of Google Arts & Culture, said: “Today we are introducing Pet Portraits, a way for your dog, cat, fish, bird, reptile, horse, or rabbit to discover their very own art doubles among tens of thousands of works from partner institutions around the world.
“Your animal companion could be matched with ancient Egyptian figurines, vibrant Mexican street art, serene Chinese watercolours, and more.”
Available on Android and iOS, get ready to find out if your pet looks more like a Picasso or a Monet piece.
