What is the application?
It specifies the breed of dog by pictures using your device's camera or image gallery. And as can be recognized by the human photos which of dogs he most resembles. And just for fun, the application can guess which dog you or your friends could be.
How does it works?
Picture is input to the expert system based on neural networks and its output formed hypothesis what breed of dog is shown in this photo. The properties of neural networks such that even a photo on which there is no dog will be associated to varying degrees with the familiar dog breeds.
What is recognition accuracy?
The system trained to recognize 48 breeds of dogs by 40 thousand photos. In the last version of the application accuracy of breeds recognition was 84% in the 40 thousands of photos.
Experiments with neural networks are continuing, so the number of recognized breeds will be increased, and Recognition quality will improve in new releases.
Goals For Future.
It will be added to supplement the training set of dog photos your examples and thus continuously expand the number of dog breeds and recognition accuracy. The purpose of the project to create an expert system able to classify all known breeds of dogs from photos.

Dogs have been selectively bred for thousands of years, sometimes by inbreeding dogs from the same ancestral lines, sometimes by mixing dogs from very different lines. The process continues today, resulting in a wide variety of breeds, hybrids, and types of dog. As such, dogs are the only animal with such a wide variation in appearance without speciation, "from the Chihuahua to the Great Dane."
The following list uses a wide interpretation of "breed." Breeds are usually categorized by the functional type from which the breed was developed. The basic types are companion dogs, guard dogs, hunting dogs, herding dogs, and working dogs, although there are many other types and subtypes. Breeds listed here may be traditional breeds with long histories as registered breeds, rare breeds with their own registries, or new breeds that may still be under development.

This app can not transform your smartphone into a crazy space ship being able to extract the blood of your dog with a magic laser. The app gives educated predictions based on what it sees. On average, those predictions are quite accurate. However, it‘s obvious that the result can only be as good as the image/video you provide to the app. Furthermore, it‘s impossible to get each and every individual dog detected correctly. People tend to take it personal, if their own beloved dog isn‘t predicted right though. If you give the app a chance in the first place, you‘ll see that its overall performance is pretty decent. Instead of having to pay a lot of money for a DNA test, you‘re getting this app for free. Enjoy!
