Facial recognition used to identify giant pandas

Having trouble telling one giant panda from another?

A facial recognition app developed by the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding with researchers from Singapore's Nanyang Technological University and Sichuan Normal University will make identifying the bears easier.

Wan Yongqing, a Beijing photographer, visits Sichuan province every other year to take photos of pandas. He has watched them for more than a decade at the Chengdu facility and other sites associated with the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Sichuan.
