Face Recognition

















Computers can now search for people through a face-recognition feature that Apple and Google have put into the latest versions of their photo-management systems.

Here is an excerpt from Apple's website:
"iPhoto ’09 introduces Faces — a new feature that allows you to organize your photos based on who’s in them. iPhoto uses face detection to identify faces of people in your photos and face recognition to match faces that look like the same person. That makes it easy for you to add names to your photos. And it helps you find the people you’re looking for — even in the largest photo libraries.

Put a name to a face in just a couple of photos, and iPhoto suggests a set of possible matches you can confirm with a click. iPhoto then uses the information to sift throught your library and find even more potential matches."
