Google and Face Recognition
January 18, 2010
You can read a good summary of a mainstream publication’s analysis of Google and its face recognition technology. Just navigate to Google Blogoscoped and check out “German Spiegel on Google Goggles’ Face Recognition and More”. The only problem is that the author of the write up did not consider the application of this system and method to video. To get the full picture of the Google facial recognition capability, you may want to skip the traditional publication and read US20100008547 “Method and System for Automated Annotation of Persons in Video Content”. You can find this document at the USPTO’s free patent document Web site, www.uspto.com. I find it interesting that open source information about a specific and significant Google system and method is ignored. Much easier to write without too much information I suppose. That’s what keeps the Larry and Sergey eat pizza book writers in high clover.

A freebie. Due to the direct reference to the USPTO, I herewith report that I was not paid to point out this omission about Google’s facial recognition technology.
