What is image analysis?

#artificialintelligence 

It can be as simple as scanning a barcode, or as complex as PiP. Yep… one of the most advanced pet identification systems out there... PiP is a smartphone app created for pet owners who've lost their cat, dog, fish. Should you misplace your pet, its photo will be analyzed and matched with photos of pets that have been found wandering the streets. Image analysis is used to beat lost tags, outdated microchips, and fading tattoos. Teaching a computer to see, is no walk in the park.
