Probably "Flo Control"[0]. There was a system to get a silhouette of the cat's head to identify whether it was carrying anything.

The author of the original article references Flo Control and uses it in his implementation.

To be specific. I only took the general idea from that project. That is, to match the cat head against a lit background to make it easy to get a good profile image.

None of the implementation has anything to do with that project however.
