Google Portrait and Sebastien Marcel interview

Posted on June 18, 2007

Have you seen Google Portrait? It is actually by Sebastien Marcel at IDIAP, not Google, but it is a nice little application of face detection. Basically you can type anything you like into the search box, and the site will search Google Images for your search term, and return any faces it finds in the images. Sebastien did an interview on Google Blogoscoped, which is where I have just heard about this. BananaScreen was also mentioned, a fun little application that locks and unlocks your winxp computer based on if it recognises you in the webcam!
