I'm aware that the passport photo conditions for young children are more relaxed (under 1 don't need their eyes open, under 6 don't need a 'neutral' expression) but I didn't expec that they would just skip the whole under-12s photo part.
- cbhl 7y agoI was under the impression that most airlines require you to be at least 12 to do "unaccompanied minor"; anyone younger than that should be with both parents or they warrant special checks at the border anyway (such as letters of permission from the parents).
- 77pt77 7y agoIs this new? Because I've seen children under 12 traveling as unaccompanied minors.
- authoritarian 7y agoIt's incorrect, not new
- lazyasciiart 7y agoI think it's a mismatch in terminology. My brother sent his three kids to us for a holiday. The 11 year old had to be "accompanied" by a stewardess. The 13 and 16 year olds were able to travel "unaccompanied", as in not under the supervision of the airline.
- Symbiote 7y agoThe US says children must be 5 to travel "unaccompanied" (i.e. supervised by airport staff to the plane etc). From around 12-14 they can go alone, depending on the airline. I don't think there's a European policy, and European airlines seem mixed in whether they allow unaccompanied children: https://www.opodo.co.uk/blog/which-airlines-allow-unaccompanied-minors-to-fly-alone/ https://www.opodo.co.uk/blog/which-airlines-allow-unaccompan...
- jon-wood 7y agoFace recognition has difficulty with under 12s because they’re still developing so quickly, given only a single reference photo from five years ago the accuracy of facial recognition is going to be terrible.
- retsibsi 7y agoThis is a tangential question, but I'm curious how well it tends to do with adults who undergo things like weight gain/loss, emergence or clearing of acne, minor-to-moderate injuries -- the sorts of natural change that can happen quickly and make a significant difference, but rarely fool humans.
- ska 7y agoHardly surprising, though, since in general practical (i.e. non-lab) conditions it has trouble with over 12's too. FP still pretty high without additional constraints (e.g. photos on your timeline)
- netsharc 7y agoI wonder if there's already ML that can predict what a face will look like if given a set of photos of a person from a range of ages...
