App PetMatch: original technological method of help for homeless animals

The death of a cat or dog that stayed with you for decades, no doubt — a heavy loss. No wonder people can't come to terms with it and struggling to "extend the life" Pets. Some spend long hours looking at old pictures and videos. Others, hoping to "resurrect" an animal ready to spend considerable sums on cloning.



The creators of the app PetMatch has developed a unique technological method of help for homeless animals, suggesting that survived the loss of Pets and people for everyone to find using the web service living DoppelgangeR, similar to a beloved dog or cat.

To describe the unique parameters of the search and identification of overlaps, the application uses its own patented technology, analyzing it for a number of parameters such as shape of mouth, distance between eyes, colour of coat, size and body shape.

Then the same parameters are searched from the database PetFinder, where there are hundreds of thousands of photos of Pets awaiting "adoption" throughout the United States. In the search result the user is provided with information about the matches across the country and in the nearest to the place of residence regions.
