Russian programmers made face recognition technology accessible to all comers
Face recognition technology is now available to all, thanks to the new Russian application Findface.
The program allows mobile phone users to identify strangers whom they meet on the street, taking pictures and uploading their snapshot to a site that uses face recognition technology, writes The New York Post.
“This does not violate privacy laws. This is a new development in our attitude towards online privacy,” the press service said. Findface.
The application allows you to instantly find a person in social networks, in particular in the Russian network VKontakte, and thus find out his name and the information he shares on his page.
"Findface — an application that will allow people to meet the opposite sex on the streets, take photographs and find them on social networks by their faces,” said the creator of the program, Maxim.
Findface already available for download in the mobile app stores.
“Such a black box to which we can first show several examples, say what the correct answers should be in these examples. And then this black box will itself give the correct answers,” explained the essence of the work of facial recognition technology CEO NTech Lab Artem.
At the same time, one of the Russian testers of the program noted that the application only works if the VKontakte profile picture is really worth a photo of a person’s profile on the social network. If there are animals or other people, the program will not find this person, even if there is a photo of him in the account itself.
