Image Recognition

[Ixo X oxI]

FYI,
    A few months back, Seth Woodworth (irc/isforinsects) and I did some

distracted on other projects....  here's the notes and comments that we
gathered during our investigation...

I'm sure you'd get some feedback from both of us, if any similar project
started to get off the ground. :)
