Google Patented Face Detection in Video

Google Patented Face Detection in Video

Face detection method is already common in the world of photography, but unlike the case in the video world. Usually the face detection method in the video only in a specific project or research. But this time Google will also apply. Google filed a patent on the technology and methods of face recognition in video.

Google Patented Face Detection in Video

The method used is a collection of frames in video capture to produce a person's face shape. After knowing look of someone's face from various angles, Google can identify the person's face in the video is playing.

The implementation of this method is likely to be applied on the YouTube website. Users can later mark (tag) name of the video. This sign features similar to several social networking sites in general.

Another implementation of this method can be applied to Google's Project Glass. This method of recognizing someone's face and obtain information about the person. However, it remains unclear whether the implementation of which will be implemented by Google.

Face recognition is a common thing to do on a still image or a still picture like a photograph, but the technology is rarely found outside of this area and its appearance is still limited in the scope of certain scientific research.

This will probably be changed After Google's patented facial recognition technology in the video.

As described in U.S. Patent number 8,213,689, the technology Google uses a collection of frames in the video to generate a representation of a person's face. By knowing a person's appearance from different angles, Google can give names to the faces of those in the video, even in difficult lighting conditions though.

The most obvious application of this technology is to allow users to tag a name on a YouTube video clips, similar to a feature on some social networking sites.

One other possible application is to identify others in Augmented Reality applications and obtain detailed information about the person. It is, for example, can be done with glasses Glass Project from Google.

It remains unclear what will Google do with technology in the patent, but this is a bit much to help illustrate the mindset of the internet giant.
