“I tried the pet portrait filter, and it’s Smudge’s historical twin that looks pretty bad.”
Someone named Jane Wakefield tested the system with a photo of her four-year-old black and white cat, Smudge, and the result was quite intriguing. Google Pet Portraits paired Smudge with a painting by 19th century artist Zhu Ling, “The Black Cat and the Narcissus,” from the collection of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
According to Google, this tool’s algorithm is based on a pet-detection camera comparing a photo of the pet with thousands of artworks, then matching it to the most similar artwork. Users can also tap on the matching artwork to access information about the artwork’s story and the artist.
