#2That's great! I like that you guys are offering a small free usage tier!

#3Did a few tests and it works pretty well! No false positives at least.
Any plans to increase the number of objects you can search for at once? Very interested in using this but I'd want to be able to scan for ~20 objects.

#4Hey - I found a bug - no cat was detected here:

#5Can you give me bit more technical background. Tell me how this is better than for eg. out of the box openCV filters.

#6Works well! Found a few it didn't work on. For example, it didn't detect an airplane in this image (but it's a fighter jet, so maybe not part of the training set): http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/photos/2/8/0/20...

#7It didn't detect face here:

The algorithm probably got distracted and raised an exception.

#8Very interesting application though, but I couldn't realize real life usage via web api. As my knowledge those kind of stuff is for realtime applications and with web based approach it might not serve the purpose.
BTW, it can find only two airplanes in this photo http://www.q8.com/SiteCollectionImages/Gatwick%20Airport.jpg

#9Very nice. Would y'all consider offering some embeddable solution that does not need to be ran on the net.

#10As a long time CV enthusiast, I applaude the tech and the way you guys make it "just work". However for any serious application I feel a few things are missing:
- your pricing won't work for video (even at only 5fps)
- I can't really use the data without a confidence level of detection. Because for some applications I'd rather discard a bouding box that is below a threshold I set.
Other than that, congrats for the great work :)
