I wonder if there's really AI behind this. Couldn't it simply be a fruit of Google Image Labeler?

wonder what the string for the "o face" is

I hope they plug it into Street View so we can know the name of the pimp in front of the strip club.

I just searched for "gmail" and added the "&imgtype=face" string to the end of the URL and found a lot of e-mail addresses in the image descriptions. Could that be a potential problem?

Google™ Facial :)

Distinguishing if there is a face on a photo is not too hard to do.
In fact http://Riya.com goes much farther and recognizes who the faces belong to with a very good success rate

as a matter of fact, the Exalead search engine has been offering facial recognition in its image search for the past month now (http://www.exalead.fr/search/imageSearch?q=)

searched for homer simpson

lol, look at the third result. wtf?

When is Google going to integrate this ability into Picasa?

I need something that will automatically differentiate and sort blonde, brunette, and asian.
That would really help me get my smut collection into order.

Now if they could just have it "match" an image I could collect on all those stolen pictures from my site!

What about OCR for all the license plates that are parked in driveways?
Type in a plate number and it'll show you the car in the driveway of the owner's house..or worse yet, wherever it was when the street pictures were taken.

It's about time. I'm sick of having to wade through legit news stories just to see what Paris Hilton is up to. Can we combine this with Street View to see exactly what club she was puking in front of?

Can you imagine how amazing and frightening the future power of Google will be?

Upload a picture of any person and bam! ; you have every picture on the net of them. Instead of searching based on words, you will be able to search based on pictures.

From an artistic point of view it holds interesting potential as to what is considered a "face" or a portrait.

Try "Willem de kooning american art museum" and check out the first result.
