calling rosie a buttaface implies that she has a hot body. wtf man. - AnteChronos, on 10/11/2007, -0/+58...and the overlords have indexed your welcome for future reference.
- crawfishsoul, on 10/11/2007, -3/+39I hope they plug it into Street View so we can know the name of the pimp in front of the strip club.
- hmemcpy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+25Googleâ„¢ Facial :)
- MaGnA, on 10/11/2007, -6/+24I wonder if there's really AI behind this. Couldn't it simply be a fruit of Google Image Labeler?
- RawShark, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18When 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. - JohnnyXmas, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16&imgtype=news&category=drunkenceleb&panties=no
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? - deadowl, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14There are a lot of good facial recognition algorithms about these days. However, none of them really share the same definition as a human. The algorithm still isn't the best. Faces with exaggerated features are a big one that isn't compensated for. Try a search for klingon or homer simpson, append imgtype=face to the URL, and see how many faces get filtered out.
Also, look what face recognition does on a search for dog:

The eleventh one is when you start asking yourself questions. - HHP2K, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10gldfshnpcklejar: the nopenises thing only worked because moderate safesearch is on by default.
- rafaelcapanema, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11(Beta)
- mahler, on 10/11/2007, -2/+10Google recognizes Facial just fine here.
- borisyankov, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Distinguishing 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 - resta6, on 01/12/2009, -2/+8wonder what the string for the "o face" is
- GawtMilk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Homer Simpson doesn't have a real face, he's a cartoon. Seems to me that the algorithm is working.
- HHP2K, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I 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?
- GawtMilk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4It works because...
...well honestly, just think. If you said, "damn, I need a picture of Jessica Simpson", why would you *NOT* load a photo of her rack? - uptown, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5@shaunt: "calling rosie a buttaface implies that she has a hot body. wtf man."
Some people are into that kinda thing ... others are just involuntarilly sucked into her body's gravitational pull. - sockpuppets, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7Riya, we hardly knew ye.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4*NSFW if enlarged
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Now if they could just have it "match" an image I could collect on all those stolen pictures from my site!
- jacenat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3it doesn't
invalid values for variabes sets the value to default

see?
same results ... without the imgtype - jmbarbera, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3What 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. - specialK16, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Heh, genius!
*bookmarks. - tonaros, on 11/14/2007, -2/+4http://www.hermann-uwe.de/files/images/scary_plant.preview.jpg
I don't think anyone would label this as a face. - ScionAltera, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Why are you searching for porn at work/school?
- jhul, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2A few people have pointed out that it doesn't return Homer Simpson's face, I know it's hardly rigorous testing but would seem to imply that it doesn't just return images that have been labelled as "a face"
- seattlephantom, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2With everyone putting their pics on myspace and facebook or public albums that are all searchable on Picase, Ofoto etc..Everyone who has ever had their pic online will be searchable. Not sure if I like where this is going....
- ahawks, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1@ubuwalker31
Yes, but some of us had the common sense not to click his link when he explicitly says "when you search for porn...."
seriously, do you need a NSFW tag when porn is mentioned? - art2know, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1From 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. - arjie, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1There was some news about Google and Artificial Intelligence sometime ago on digg. Is this where they're putting it then? Artificial Intelligence as in pattern recognition and stuff like that.
- skyfire1, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Anrkist, that actually works. 0.o

/shameless-plug - uptown, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1...or use user-votes to match user's faces w/ those of celebs at http://www.celebralike.com
- bennettp, on 10/11/2007, -6/+6Or &imgtype=face and search for "*****":
http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&gbv=2&safe=off&q=*****&btnG=Search+Images&imgtype=face
Take a look at the first result!
NSFW! - OpusMortis, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Can 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. - Jugalator, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1mustacheo, yeah, exactly, like if you find inspiration after reading the interviews in Playboy.
- oilcan, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1i don't know that it actually works. maybe it does, but maybe Jessica Simpson is actually a titty monster and any search for her might turn up lots of images of her knockers :P
- specialK16, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1searched for homer simpson
http://images.google.com/images?um=1&tab=wi&client=firefox-a&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=com.ubuntu%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=homer%20simpson&imgtype=face
lol, look at the third result. wtf? - SuperCujo, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1Wouldn't you hit problems with 'close-ups' of bottle blondes?
- CeeJayDK, on 10/11/2007, -4/+2@ Anrkist : While we wait for &imgtype=boobs , you can always try &imgtype=face and search for "cum"
It works great .. just don't get fired. - AresDiggs, on 10/11/2007, -3/+0why? because now you can email them?
- frenchroms, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1as 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=)
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -4/+0Its useful if you are searching for porn stars and you only want to see their face.
- thenameisfinger, on 10/11/2007, -5/+0Wow. This is kind of...neat.
- fxmcleod, on 10/11/2007, -8/+2I can't seem to get this to happen...
- kalel90, on 10/11/2007, -8/+1&imgtype=boobs actually works lol example-http://images.google.com/images?um=1&tab=wi&client=firefox-a&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&q=jessica%20simpson&imgtype=boobs

Hey douche, some of us are reading this at work and school! - gldfshnpcklejar, on 10/11/2007, -18/+5It doesn't work :(
NSFW
http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=porn&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2
is the same as
http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=porn&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2&imgtype=boobs
but surprisingly &imgtype=nopenises removes all pictures containing penises. check it out.
http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=penis&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2&imgtype=nopenises
On another note it works perfect for those of us who only want to see pornstars faces.
http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=pornstar&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2&imgtype=face - lakush, on 10/11/2007, -19/+5I, for one, welcome our new Google overlords.
