call HART crazy .. but
This is an interesting website, that I thought I would pass along … MyHeritage Face Recognition .. part of the MyHeritage Family 2.0 and Genealogy website.
From the site:
MyHeritage.com is one of the world’s first services to apply advanced face recognition technology to personal photos and family history; and it’s free!
MyHeritage.com has sophisticated algorithms that facilitate the use of face recognition for genealogy: it recognizes faces in different stages of peoples’ lives and uses additional photo meta-data such as dates and places to improve the accuracy of face recognition … etc. etc. etc.
SO NATURALLY I TRIED IT ON MYSELF
This is the picture from my 1800HART.com/blog/ website .. I used it to test this sophisticated algorithm! Here are the top 10 celebrities that could be me!
1) Timothy Leary – 68% Probability
2) Joesph Deiss – 66%
3) Tim Allen – 63%
4) Bo Xilai – 61%
5) William Crookes – 60%
6) Terrence Stamp -59%
7) Roger Daltry – 58%
Ahmed Shah Massoud – 56%
9) Francois Mauriac – 56%
10) Daniela Pestova – 56%
BUT .. DOES IT REALLY WORK?
I tried loading a previously loaded picture that I had posted here at call HART crazy of Jessica Alba. SURELY … it should recognize this celebrity? Here are the top three answers .. and it seemed to “get it right” by picking Jessica Alba as the first choice .. but – look how close the other probabilities are? I wonder if they are related? Hmmmmm.
1) Jessica Alba – 98% Probability
2) Adriana Karembeu – 97%
3) Calista Flockhart – 97%
AND WHAT ABOUT OTHER NOT-SO-FAMOUS CELEBRITIES?
I tried it with a picture of our Canadian Prime Minister .. P.M. Stephen Harper . I found it quite interesting to learn about the celebrities this “celebrity” seems to look most like..
1) Hugh Grant – 74%
2) Colin Firth – 71%
3) Thomas Klestil – 68%
4) Stan Laurel – 66%
