    Cloud based Facial Recognition

    Share on TwitterShare via email

    The Cloud is just another term for the internet. If you didn’t know, now you do. The Carnegie Melon University’s Robotics Institute and Google have teamed up to develop a new software program, PittPatt, which uses a picture to track down the real-world location of a stranger, in minutes.

     Of course, it’s easy to see the law enforcement applications. This will make it easier to track down criminals and to identify ne’re-do-wells at large sporting events. Usually, facial recognition software is hampered by lack of human man hours to process data and lack of computer power.

    PittPatt works differently though. There are millions of pictures of us available online and PittPatt accesses those snapshots and compares them to the one it has; thus quick identification is achieved.
