Another post about the facial recognition software in Picasa



Still pretty amazed at the accuracy of the scanning on this software. There's a picture here it suggested as being Aaron. It's the last picture of the individual face shots of Aaron in the screen print from Picasa (top photo). It has a red patch across the bottom right of the picture.

The full picture is where the suggestion came from. It's obviously Aaron in the picture but not the one that's suggested. But then, if you look very closely at the bigger picture you will see that it includes an image of the wedding candle. It's at the top of Aaron's shoulder. The candle has pictures of Aaron and Amber on it. The one of Aaron is barely visible. It's almost impossible to even see the candle in the photo but Picasa picked up that image and identified it as Aaron. Amazing!

I was also reviewing some other suggestions it presented and found one of Deanna when she was very little (about 4-5) and it was a poor quality picture too. The only thing Picasa was working with was recent pictures but it correctly identified this old picture of a very young Deanna as being the same person as in the more recent photos. (Now I'll stop posting about this.)
