How does Facebook use image recognition to recognize that an image of a baby on a blanket with no surroundings visible was taken inside a certain hospital? I doubt it.
Regarding your Chamonix images, perhaps your friends uploaded photos taken at roughly the same time, with geo-tags? Perhaps you are tagged in some of them? That would make for pretty simple logic:
- Facebook knows that you were at a certain place a certain time through the geo-tagging of those photos, as your user is tagged in one of them
- You upload photos taken at the same time as the photos you were tagged in
Conclusion: You must have taken those photos where the photos you were tagged in were taken.

Of those there I am the only one with photos on Facebook - and in fact at the time was the only family member with a Facebook account :) I am intrigued because if it is image recognition there isn't much for them to have gone on. But I am stumped for what else they could have used.
- benmmurphy 15y agomaybe Facebook just randomly guesses locations. those who get matches write comments on reddit wondering how the hell it works and those that get weird suggestions ignore them :)
- nixy 15y agoWow. Maybe they have a bunch of people looking at pictures, manually making suggestions? Google "similar images" search-like tool? It does sound scary if they really had nothing to go on other than the image data.
