You open the app, it pulls up an image of the litter box and you just tap on each poop section and the app will give you a best guess of which cat is responsible. The idea is that the app needs to "see" all the poops at the same time to give an accurate guess, so you only get one guess per "session".<br><br>The app starts by asking you for your cat's poop characteristics, so you can set up which characteristics you want to focus on, and how much weight each should have in the guess.<br><br>Example:<br>- Cat1's poops tend to be loose and bleh in color about 80% of the time, marble sized, and smell bad. <br>- Cat2's poops tend to be sticky and dark brown in color about 80% of the time, small, and smell alive.<br><br>There are known patterns in the poop like Cat1 likes to do a few at once, or Cat2 always does a few in a row, every day, or Cat3 seems to be overly interested in the poop of Cat1 and will sometimes cover it.<br><br>You could also do some machine learning and have the app monitor the litter box over time, so it can learn what patterns are present in your litter box. Like Cat3 poops always seem to be adjacent to Cat1's.<br><br>So then you open the app, it uses the phone's camera to look at the litter box and it highlights the poops. You tap on each one and it asks for a few things like<br>- Size<br>- Smell<br>- Color<br>- Location<br>- Shape<br>- Consistency<br>- Clump or single?<br><br>Then it gives you some probabilistic guesses of which cat the poop belongs to. You could even do a "correct me" later if you were incorrect, and the app would be able to learn from this and get better guesses over time.<br><br>**If you know of an app that does this, please comment here so everyone can see it**
