I don’t think they predict that based on photos though. Facebook might indeed be the first company to do this particular analysis since they have the data to do so. That doesn’t make it patentable, though. I doubt they invented any new math or techniques; just different inputs and outputs to a CNN. But that also doesn’t mean they won’t be awarded a patent.
