Speed test
A pose model places 20 points on Lucas in every frame, and the 6'2" person in the shot gives the scale for size and speed.

- B: The person in the shot, used as a 6'2" ruler
- C: Shoulder height, read off the pose

Fig. 01 What the film shows. Lucas sprints down a wooded path after a throw while a pose model traces him and the 6'2" person in the shot serves as the ruler. His path is then drawn over a 3D model of a front yard, out to the ball and back. It ends on his stats: shoulder 23 in, nose to tail 38 in, sprint average 23 mph, end of sprint about 25 mph. The film has no sound.
Measurements One dog · one clip
Measured from one iPhone video. No collar. No sensors.
These are Lucas's numbers from one technology demo. Measuring a dog this way is lab work today. It isn't a feature in the Pawly beta.
- 1Shoulder height: one measurement of one dog, Lucas, from one clip, scaled against the 6'2" person in the frame. A single demonstration, not an accuracy study. Method and limits to be confirmed by Jake.
- 2Nose to tail: one measurement from the same clip. A single demonstration. Method and limits to be confirmed by Jake.
- 3Sprint average: averaged over one sprint after one throw. A single demonstration. Method and limits to be confirmed by Jake.
- 4Top speed: the film's "end of sprint" reading, about 25 mph, from one sprint. A single demonstration. Method and limits to be confirmed by Jake.
Chapters
The film, chapter by chapter.
Five chapters, in the order they play. The letters on each frame mark what the models are doing. How the yard model and path are built: to confirm with Jake.
Following Lucas
Lucas is tracked out of the footage and followed across a 3D model of the front yard, with his real path drawn as he runs.
- A: Lucas, tracked and lifted out of the video
- B: The front yard as a 3D point cloud
- C: His path, drawn where he ran
The return
After the pickup the path turns for home, and the tracking keeps the curve of the turn.
- A: The pickup, where he got the ball
- B: Where Lucas is now
- C: The run out
On the map
Seen from above, the whole throw becomes one line on a map of the yard: out, the pickup, and back.
- A: The whole run, start to finish
- B: The house and driveway, for context
- C: The pickup
Dog stats
The film ends on Lucas's numbers, each taken from that one clip.
- A: Shoulder height, 23 in
- B: Nose to tail, 38 in
- C: Sprint average 23 mph, end of sprint about 25 mph
Stack
What's underneath.
The pieces behind the film and behind Pawly's guides, one line each.
Fine-tuned models
Models we fine-tune ourselves for dogs and the people who live with them.
Dog pose
A pose model that places 20 points on a dog's body, frame by frame.
Dog and handler tracking
Two-body tracking that follows the dog and the person together, so a person of known height can be the ruler.
Guide pipeline
Each plan starts from a real owner problem, ranks around 30 research passages and is written from the ones that hold up.
Self-run GPUs Jake to confirm before publishing
Our models run on GPUs we operate ourselves.

Camera
In developmentThe video stays between the camera and your phone.
We're building camera hardware for the home. It starts from one privacy principle: what the camera films goes to the owner's phone, and stays between the two.

In the app
What this means for your puppy.
A phone that can see a dog already shows up in Pawly's beta, in smaller and everyday ways.
Film one rep
In the betaFilm your puppy doing sit, down, stay, recall or shake, and Pawly checks the rep.
Check it with a photo
In the beta"Can he eat this?", a plant, a food bag or a stool: take a photo in Capture and Pawly says what to do now and when to call your vet.
Limping
In the betaLimp triage in Capture helps you decide what to do now and when to call your vet. It isn't a diagnosis.
Measuring size and speed
In the labWhat you saw in Lucas's film. It isn't in the app yet.
Feature status to confirm with Jake before launch.
Try it with the puppy you've got.
Pawly is in beta on iPhone. It isn't a vet and doesn't diagnose.
