Face.com's API now recognizes moods
- hezekiah 15y agowhats the availability of this for open source? it would be fun to hack with
- NSMeta 15y agoI didn't find anything specific to open source, but in their FAQ[1] they say: 10. Is your API free? Yes, our API is free, requires attribution and is subject to Rate Limiting. If necessary, these limits are also expandable for free through our Whitelisting program. [1] http://developers.face.com/docs/faq/ http://developers.face.com/docs/faq/
- DanBlake 15y agoWish it worked to detect explicit images also
- chopsueyar 15y agoWhen will the YC funded 'Scanner Darkly' suits become available?
- jshort 15y agoI love the potential for facial recognition in the future as long as their are no privacy issues and the public welcomes it without fears over privacy. Here is my futuristic view of how this can be used, you walk into a Starbucks, it recognizes you, even if this is your first time entering this specific Starbucks, and you say the usual. Your coffee is ordered knowing your 'usual' at Starbucks. Your identity is already confirmed so payment is a breeze, perhaps a pin for extra security. Just a funky idea of what I could see sometime from now.
- DTE 15y agoSeems like a whole lot of technology solving a problem I don't think many people have.
- lbrandy 15y agoLet's keep in mind that they could already do this, relatively trivially, with far less technology, except you'd hand them your credit card first, instead of last.
- nl 15y agoI love the potential for facial recognition in the future as long as their are no privacy issues and the public welcomes it without fears over privacy. Umm yeah. How would that work exactly? One person's privacy issue is another person's feature request.
- fossuser 15y agoThe main big negative implication that I can think of (and that caused Google to back off the research) is governments using it for surveillance. I think a lot of the potential features of the technology could be really cool, but that's a pretty serious negative.
- barefoot 15y ago"and that caused Google to back off the research". Do you have an article or other sources for this? It sounds very interesting.
- praptak 15y agoI believe the technology is here (or not far from being here) for an augmented reality app that tags people you see in public with their RL names, occupations, etc. Scary, huh?
- andrewingram 15y agoReally like the idea of this, but I'm not sold on the accuracy. The example pic for 'angry' looks very much like someone pretending to be angry and is actually having a laugh, all you have to do is look at the eyes. Would be interesting to hear from the developers of this on the extent to which the eyes and eyebrows are used in the analysis.
- stdbrouw 15y agoNoticed the same thing. But if you had to choose between putting that photo in a folder called "angry faces" or "happy faces", what would you choose? Of course, you'd hope the software would really be fine-grained enough to detect fake moods so you don't have to make that semi-arbitrary decision, but since it can't, I'm pretty happy with "angry".
- adyus 15y agoI got dibs on a duckface (http://antiduckface.com/ http://antiduckface.com/) detection and removal service for public websites like Facebook. :)
