There is a great opportunity here for a computer vision programmer to do several things.
- This is more than enough samples to produce a single arch-type sheep. - This is also enough to teach a computer to draw random sheep. - Using a sorting formula, it would be cool to see an animation of the sheep by putting any two sheep that look the most like each other next to each other. The result would be a metamorphosis from one sheep to the next. Amazingly, this would be a 6 minute video! - Now this becomes the sheep recognition meme, and becomes an easy way to teach computers what is what. Or at the very least, what humans think things are iconified.
They should have sorted the sheep by colour (shade), such that the collective image too, was a sheep. One should never pass up the opportunity to do one of those mosaics. If we do not build upon our past trivial technological "fads", then who are we?!?
An almost 7% rejection rate! Mechanical Turks suck…
Also, I love the one sheep that is drawn from the rear, with its slightly puckered hole, but the sheep's "head" is indeed facing to the left, abiding by the simple rules of the job…and proving that not all people are sheep, but alas, so few are not!
