Google unveils 'Find My Face' tool

TinEye is great. But I'm really confused about the title.

As far as I know, TinEye just finds reuse of PICTURES (not faces - ie, it can't take a picture of your face and find other pictures of your face, just the reuse of portions of that exact picture of your face.) Admittedly, still very cool.

And secondly, TinEye was developed by a company that isn't Google.

And thirdly, TinEye has been available for a couple years, now, so it's hardly a recent unveiling.
 
I've heard about something similar. This is just the first I've heard of an extension for Opera. I just used it....works nicely!

title is fine but maybe untimely. if you have a photo of your face it is still "finding your face" when it finds photos it has been cut with. agreeably still very cool.

that company was probably a weaponized drone manufacturer if the truth be told...

it was news to me when i came across it...
 
Ok, title is fine. But the link is definitely wrong!

Actually, I believe it uses a modification of the "digital fingerprinting" algorithm that was developed for spotting copyrighted music, regardless encoding methods, bitrates, metadata, etc. (This can be demo'd by checking out SoundHound, and others.)
