Face recognition for everyone?
I recently came across Riya, a new online photo service.
Basically this is a service where you upload your pictures and identify
people in the pictures. The system will then also be able to identify
the same people on other pictures. Sounds like something Flickr should
be adding.
The part that I am not so sure about here is the privacy. Making all of
this information publicly available is certainly a concern – just think
about all the places that would love to license and have access to this
information in order to identify people.
