<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I see Facebook has added a photo recognition
application that supposedly will find 'untagged' photos of
individuals on facebook by using a known photograph. I know
this raises all kinds of privacy (and other) issues, but that's not what
interests me here.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>As photo recognition software begins to reach
the public domain (maybe there are versions available besides the above),
would it not be a useful tool to compare and find individuals in old
photographs (where you already have at least one identified photo of a
person)? Would be great to have access to something like
that. I have dozens of old photos where there is nothing written as to
identities, and in some I think I can identify particular people,
but having this software at least as a rough guide would be helpful.
Some of these old photographs have very high quality images.</FONT></DIV>
