What's a narrative summary:

Write out a report on what you learned, as a letter to next semester's class. If someone's interested in that particular problem, tell them what you know, where to get started, and what the major issues are. Each one's probably a page or two long, with links as needed. You can out them all on the Projects page.

YES, in theory (has worked with cats). Sadly our efforts with the db of Images from Ecuador has been unsuccessful, same with Picassa. I wrote a small app in openFrameworks but it fails due to the amount of random things in the background. We could, perhaps get better results with closer pictures in which the face of the monkeys were more than half, but still, when I manipulate the images manually and then analyze them with the software it is not accurate enough.
