    Machine vision is based on pattern-matching. A model is trained by exposing it to images, some of which contain lorries (or tanks, or aircraft) and some of which do not. Over zillions of exposures, the computer deduces rules that allow it to #identify the things its trainers want to teach it about. Because zebra-striped trucks are unlikely to appear in the training data, says Todd Humphreys, an engineer at the #University of Texas at Austin, an #AI that encounters one in the real world may not realise what it is looking at.

  5. 💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: What can pollinate an #orchid with a #nectar spur up to 16 cm long?

    #Florida's ghost #orchid is pale, night-blooming, and belongs to the same #angraecoid group as Darwin's orchid. This #video follows researchers climbing into the canopy to get photos of this elusive #flower.

    This video goes over my common, affordable recommendations for each of three regions/terrain profiles in the US. I also give some suggestions for excellent, albeit less common camo patterns that might be a good fit for where you live....

  8. #Dogwalking miscellany

    To help with the challenge in the previous picture, here's a picture of a stone curlew making a newbie mistake. It has cleverly blended in with the grey-brown pattern of the aggregate footpath, but then foolishly stood in front of a brightly coloured advertisement for beer... Possibly it's stoned.

    Stone curlew, with roses

    (I cheated a little, and removed the curlew's very obvious shadow. Just pretend it's an overcast day and play Spot The Curlew...)
