Face recognition makes its way into photo applications this year, in Google’s Picassa Web Albums.
First, there is a run through search of faces in all the photos in the album, then a option to name faces. Another option to use the face clustering option to tag many faces at once, in groups. There is an option to view by faces, and select and tag many similar faces at once. When looking at a photo with unknown faces, one can just click the face and name it, then it will create a training sample for which further faces which are similar to the face can be tagged easily.
This is a great and not well known application to pattern recognition found at : http://picasa.google.com/
I envisage pattern recognition applications to increase in usage in daily life in programs and general end user applications.
