| Oct 22, 2012 at 16:14 | comment | added | Aadaam | @VoronoiPotato: I think we both agree, that the best experience is when these algos are there. After that, I started to enlist the "escape routes", mentioning recognizing simply that there is a face. I do agree it's a hard topic and it takes a lot of neural networks and perhaps it's nearly magic, but an OpenCV-based classifier is not unreacheable even for a startup (it detects just the existence of a face). Still I hold: the best experience is when it's not manual labor | |

Not to mention that a poorly implemented facial recognition system can be a social faux pas. For example failing to account for varying skin tones, eye shapes, can be quite (unintentionally) offensive. The human face is pretty complex, and an intimate part of our social interactions. It's a tall order to expect a computer to handle the niche scenarios. It would not feel good if the machine couldn't recognize your face because of cleft palate. EDIT: I think we're [mostly] on the same page. | |

Although this is of course limited to "we think there's a face here" rather than "we think there's a person called Bob here". | |
| Oct 22, 2012 at 13:31 | comment | added | VoronoiPotato | I apologize if my comment was rude, it's entirely possible that you might not have known the relative difficulty of the task you suggested. I come from a programming background, and people often suggest very difficult tasks (or sometimes impossible) as if they're trivial. | |
| Oct 22, 2012 at 13:26 | comment | added | VoronoiPotato | decent advice if you've got a killer server and a AAA-class programmer. Let's be real, face detection is not an easy algorithm even google and facebook fail to do it successfully at times. A small business would be hopelessly bad at the task. Magically tagged correctly is so laughably difficult that you might as well have said that the business can magically print money. Yes I am aware that google does have a face recognition program, but they also practically print money. | |
