So, could you use this to solve the image recognition captcha's that ask you to select all images that contain [object]?

At that point the data will have likely gone full circle. So, maybe.

-- Edit: Strike that. They're not actually providing any model data afaict. I assumed this was comparable to AWS's offering.

This would be great to run a security camera still feed through. It could completely eliminate false positives.

I wonder if Nest is using it with their new cam[0], as it has person alerts now (with face detection). [0] https://nest.com/camera/meet-nest-cam-iq/

In the research blog entry they do say they are using it in the new Nest cams.

They need some kind of context input. -GPS position, intent/goal, domain etc. I'm at a dog show I would want breed etc. I'm on the street I just want it come back dog maybe dangerous dog, friendly dog. Also, would be cool/scary to just get back movable object 1, person 1, living movable object 3 etc. and if I give it multiple scenes from a video it knows person 1 is the same person 1 and if I name (them) Tony it keep…

Most autonomous humans ship with this capability.

Is this a new Google API for use through their cloud offering or is it a set of tensorflow artifacts one can download and use freely without ever contacting Google Cloud?

It has been added to the TensorFlow github repository like Inception. You can use it completely independently from Google.

They have pretrained weights from the COCO dataset included with the open source models.

Clicking through the two layers of links, it is a GitHub repository containing pre-trained models, training scripts, and scripts for running the models on Google Cloud: https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/object_dete...
