For those who are new to machine learning, this is like duct taping four wheels together and calling it a Lamborghini. Maybe a good start if you want to learn about basics of face recognition, but iPhoneX FaceID keywords here are clickbait. This is nothing like the technology used in iPhoneX.
- hondadriver 9y agoCan you please explain further? How does it work on the iPhone? How is it different from this method?
- codelord 9y agoFor one it uses a numbers of sensors: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208108 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208108 But also to generalize to makeup and occlusion and millions of faces you have to do much more. There are hundreds of papers on the subject.
- 220V_USKettle 9y agoThe technique in the article does not seem to be using depth data (there is a picture in the article), only RGB image data. So, he could have gotten the same results with a webcam. My understanding is that these depth cameras create a 3d point cloud and use the rgb to map/overlay color onto the 3d.
- metafunctor 9y agoThe article does mention doing experiments using depth information from a Kinect. Also, the actual code on the github repo does appear to use depth info.
- rahimnathwani 9y agoIt specifically mentions RGBD (RGB+Depth).
- JacobiX 9y agoFace ID sensor will projects 30000 infrared dots onto the user's face, and then it reads the projected pattern. The pattern is sent to a deep neural network in order to confirm a match with the phone owner's face.
- taneq 9y agoIt kind of reminds me of when George Hotz declared that he'd created a competitor to Tesla Autopilot by training an end-to-end neural network on dashcam footage and running it on an Android phone. Sure, he had something which technically worked in brief demos but a proof of concept doesn't come close to even an alpha version of a commercial product.
- leesec 9y agoThis is fake news, imo. You can currently run Hotz' software Openpilot on your car and many do. The general consensus is that it's as good as Tesla's AP2. There are hours of footage of Openpilot driving by actual users (not PR videos) on Youtube. It most certainly does "come close to even an alpha version of a commercial product".
- taneq 9y ago'Can' and 'do' aren't the same as 'should'. I can't find any recent numbers but the general trend seems to be that OpenPilot averages about one disengagement/intervention per 5 miles, while Autopilot (when not limited by the 'hands on wheel' check) significantly further between disengagements. It's one thing to have a few tech-savvy enthusiasts installing your system and using it a bit with a good understanding of its strengths and weaknesses. It's another thing entirely to let tens of thousands of random members of the general public use your system for months on end with minimal-to-no training and no technical insight into it.
- leesec 9y agoSorry about the uses of the term 'fake news' I guess. But I was just making the point that it's definitely at least Alpha software.

- draw_down 9y agoStop saying fake news
- John_KZ 9y agoExactly. Not to mention that Apple most certainly uses conventional and well-established biometrics, along with precise 3d mapping. The article is not even in the right direction.
- urda 9y agoIt's literal click bait, and should be flagged as such.
