Every year, artificial intelligence more and more penetrates our lives. Using biometric data to pay for purchases and go through the registration procedure, cool photo-processing algorithms, various applications with augmented reality function. Interestingly, most of the applications that use new technologies are produced by Google. It can be seen that the company has taken up this business closely. Today I propose to talk about another chip that allows you to compare your pet with real works of art on display in museums.
Take pictures of animals and compare them with works of art.
Google, in my opinion, is the only company that has seriously taken up the development of artificial intelligence and its implementation in real life. And this applies not only to the well-known Google Photos but also to other cool applications like Google Arts & Culture.
Effects for photos on Android
Most users got to know the Google Arts & Culture app in 2018 when the company added a new feature that allows you to compare your selfies with famous paintings. The idea is, of course, very cool. Think for yourself. Besides the obvious entertainment component, anyone can experience the art while sitting at home.
Try to compare your photos with famous paintings in museums.
The trick has become especially relevant in our time when most of all museums are either closed or have serious restrictions on visiting. Distance of one and a half meters, masks – all this is a necessity, but to get that experience of familiarizing with high art, which was available to us earlier, will not come out yet.
I tested the app with the photographs I have and noticed an interesting fact: the vast majority of the paintings were on display in museums in the United States, which is a little upsetting. It would be cool to see the Hermitage or the Louvre, although there are these places in the Pocket Gallery section.
If you haven’t tried comparing your photo with famous portraits yet, be sure to do so. I promise you will love it. Moreover, you will not need anything supernatural from you:
- Download the Google Arts & Culture app from the link .
- Launch the app and scroll down to the point where you see a portrait photo versus a piece of art.
- Tap on the appropriate section and give Google access to the camera and photos.
Take a selfie. - The app will scan your image and display the result.
- Now you can scroll through all the pictures you look like and rate the similarities.
- There is also a “Share” button where you can send your photo to other users.
With the help of Google Arts, I was able to find my national roots.
Photos of animals on the phone
A man is a friend of a dog, everyone around him knows this – in the new version of the application there is an opportunity to do all the same, but with animals. Interestingly, Google’s algorithms will be focused not only on famous paintings but also on other objects of art: sculptures, photographs, figurines.
I was really amazed at the number of declared animals. The application will be able to see not only cats and dogs, but also birds, sheep, fish, and many other representatives of the animal world. The following picture immediately appears in my head: a lockdown, a village somewhere in the suburbs, sheep graze, and we photograph them and join the art. Well, tell me, beauty?
In all other respects, the trick works one-to-one, as with people:
- Download and open the Google Arts & Culture app.
- Scroll down to the item with animal portraits.
- Taking a pet selfie.
- Let’s see the result.
Take pictures of your pets and see who they look like.
The application will be especially useful for novice artists. With its help, you can significantly improve the skill of “watching”. Look at outstanding artists. Don’t forget: Google added its software to the Education section for a reason.
In addition to analyzing similarities, Google Arts & Culture has a number of cool tricks that can help you both in professional work and for entertainment purposes:
- Art Filter. Special filters for photos based on artifacts from museums.
- Art Transfer. A trick with which you can transform a photo into the work of famous artists.
- Color Palette. Find exhibits that match your photos in color.
- Art Projector. You can see the works of art in real scale.
- Pocket Gallery. Here you can stroll through the most famous museums in the world.
In my opinion, the Google team is really great. They are not afraid to experiment with different formats, help to find application for high technologies for ordinary users and greatly simplify the educational process.
