Abstract:

> Security analysts need to classify, search and correlate numerous images. Automatic classification tools improve the efficiency of such tasks. However, no open-source and turnkey library was found able to reach this goal.

GitHub link I had to dig through to chapter 7 to find:

True. This may be relevant to highlight the library link in an easier way. Thanks for spotting.

Was this named after Arnold Schwarzenegger's character in the movie Total Recall?

For sure :P

Yes. That's the only reference i had for that name, too. I remember the scene where he was trying to bypass the checkin at the station and messed up his camouflage ...

He was pretending to be a woman.

One day i was in berlin on a train, and i swear i saw a woman looking exactly like this. Really terrifying. I had to stop looking at her, but i just couldn't believe what i saw.

It was like every moment Douglas-Quaid would appear after he'd run out of batteries for the cloak :)
