Adopt a Soldier

A collection of more than 700 photographs of World War I soldiers was digitised in 1999 as part of the Adopt-A-Soldier project. We're delighted to announce that this set was recently used in GovHack 2016 for the iHero Application entry https://2016.hackerspace.govhack.org/content/ihero . Summary from the Entry: Our project ''iHero" is a web application that uses facial recognition to search Australian service photos across various conflicts as captured by the State Library of Western Australia, Australian War Memorial, National Archives of Australia and the State Library of Queensland.1999年，作为Adopt-A-Soldier（士兵认领）项目的组成部分，一批包含700余张第一次世界大战士兵照片的数据集完成了数字化处理。 我们很高兴地宣布，该数据集近日被应用于2016年GovHack黑客松赛事的iHero参赛作品，相关参赛页面链接为https://2016.hackerspace.govhack.org/content/ihero。参赛作品摘要如下：本项目「iHero」为一款网页应用，可借助面部识别技术，检索由西澳大利亚州立图书馆（State Library of Western Australia）、澳大利亚战争纪念馆（Australian War Memorial）、澳大利亚国家档案馆（National Archives of Australia）及昆士兰州立图书馆（State Library of Queensland）馆藏的各场冲突中的澳大利亚服役人员照片。
