> This is a very cool use of facial recognition. It could also be expanded to the complete history of photographs. So lets say trying to identify all people on all historical photographs. Wouldn't it be funny to see some of the same people pop up in different pictures around the world in events that were previously thought unrelated?
My issue with that is faces aren't that unique, so you might get unrelated people identified as the same individual.

- ghaff 8y agoThe optics are not typically the biggest issue. It's much more that film was very slow and grainy. We've been able to make good lenses for at least 100 years and probably longer.
