In TV shows like ’24’ and ‘CSI’, it’s all very easy. Nevertheless, search engines analyze blurring of faces and since then the right to search persooon still far away. A study by Yahoo and the American Stanford University can change that in the short term. And there probably is not anyone happy.

Technology to recognize faces has been around longer, but is now mostly used in cameras and smartphones to sharpen photos. Also, Apple and Nikon make quite a while using the ‘Face’, but this does not always good.

Facebook used in the United States for an extended technology to recognize faces. The software can Deep Facebook user photos automatically recognize their friends and other Facebook users, without being tagged. But, in the European Union, this technology of Facebook prohibited.

Cathedral
Most recognition software that exists now is pretty ‘dumb’ and very limited in their capabilities. For example, most faces are identified only when they look straight into the camera, or moving images.

The new algorithm, which was developed by search engine company Yahoo and from Stanford University, is based on the analysis of hundreds of thousands of pictures of faces from different angles. A database of 20 million images of various environments without it faces should serve as a reference.

Deep Dense Face Detector
The program, Deep Dense Face Detector is called, sounds promising. It can even recognize faces as shown upside down – this is impossible with recognition software of the previous generation. The detection system learns more and in and gets smarter.

The specialized website MIT Technology Review of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology called a breakthrough and a ‘remarkable accuracy.

Recognized at old photos
The question now is whether this technology will be released or that Yahoo is a search engine that consumers can use. But the technology and there is that it will be possible within the shortest possible time, is obvious.

Still, the discovery is also controversial. If the technology is made widely available, not only to search future images. Also, all the old images that can be searched on the Web for. And that photographs are of people who do not want them to come to the surface again.
