Someone should just insert this code in the feed of news images.


If someone would pay me... I'd find the time. The code I released to do that analysis is a simple version. I actually have a better version that's much more accurate and fast:

1. It eliminates a lot of false positives (such as detecting that the white sky has been copied when it's simply white)

2. It automates manual tweaking of the parameters.

3. It's multithreaded.

I guess I should be cold calling Reuters etc. to see who wants to license the fast version.


But your code missed the completely copied rocket? Porque?


Because the copied rocket actually came from another photo. The original analysis showing it copied from the adjacent rocket was wrong.
