Pattern recognition algorithm reveals how birds evolve individual egg pattern signatures

Pattern-based identity signatures are commonplace in the animal kingdom, but how they are recognized is poorly understood. Here we develop a computer vision tool for analysing visual patterns, N ATURE P ATTERN M ATCH , which breaks new ground by mimicking visual and cognitive processes known to be i...
