Spot the Plane: 10,000 Photos That Teach Computers to Tell Aircraft Apart
A new photo collection lets computers learn to tell one plane from another, even when they look almost the same.
The set holds about 10,000 images of planes and covers 100 different models, from old fighters to big airliners, organized in clear groups.
Some differences are tiny but visible, so spotting them is hard yet possible, like a human guessing the exact make by a small tail mark.
This work was build with the help of passionate aircraft enthusiasts, people who know planes and collected many pictures, making the project real.
Unlike animals that bend and move, planes are rigid, but they still vary by size, purpose, style and even company paint, which gives machines clues to learn.
The idea is simple: give lots of good photos, set up fair tests, and see how well computers can learn.
It's a step toward smarter image tools, and shows how fan communities can help science, one picture at a time.
