This is the second such purchase since 2006, when they picked up Neven Vision. Then just as now, it gives me the creeps that any company of this size and technical capability would start hoovering up companies specializing in facial recognition. Planetary scale biometrics, anyone?
- jonknee 15y agoGoogle uses facial recognition to automatically blur out faces in Street View. I imagine they have some fun ideas concerning Android as well.
- shantanubala 15y agoStreet View is just face detection (ie figure out where the faces are), and that technology has been around for years (it's even in bundled with the open source OpenCV library). This company does face recognition, which is the identification of individual people based on an image -- it's a very complicated problem.
