database 1. What Information We Collect
When you use Imohne, we only collect data relevant to registering your account and submitting lost or found pet reports:
psychology 2. Image Verification
To help pet owners and finders connect quickly, Imohne utilizes automated image processing and matching tools when you upload a pet photo:
Uploaded photos undergo automated screening to verify image authenticity and filter out synthetic or AI-generated fake media, ensuring all community reports represent real sightings.
Automated vision tools analyze the image to confirm the presence of a domestic pet (dog or cat) and isolate the animal from background clutter for optimal recognition.
Our system computes mathematical visual feature representations alongside report descriptions to measure visual and textual similarity against active lost and found reports in the database.
Visual similarity is combined with reported attributes (species, primary color, size, breed, gender, and location) to rank and surface high-confidence candidate matches directly on your dashboard.
