Are there face search engines? Facial recognition combined with cameras tracking that exist around us is a powerful tool that can be used to find you, at any time.
Search engines meanwhile become more and more smart in managing huge amounts of data. Face search and face recognition are some of the many tools targeting individuals. All public data is combined, and can quickly reveal from a person.
Below we will see three people search engines. Let's see what they are revealing to you or your friends.
1. Google image search. Reverse face search
Of course you know that you can search images in Google. Instead of using a keyword, you can put an image in the search box to search for similar images. Click on icon κάμερας για να πραγματοποιήσετε μια αναζήτηση βάσει εικόνας. Μπορείτε είτε να επικολλήσετε τη διεύθυνση URL μιας εικόνας ή να ανεβάσετε μια εικόνα από τον υπολογιστή σας και η Google θα ανακαλύψει για εσάς παρόμοιες εικόνες.
In addition, you can search for people with Google by adding a code. From Google Image Search, enter your query, press Enter, then add "& imgtype = face"(Without quotation marks) at the end of the URL.
Google also has face recognition and Google Photos.
2. PicTriev - Face recognition
PicTriev goes one step further, looking for really similar faces. Unfortunately, the feature is limited to celebrities.
Just add the image URL or upload a photo in JPG or JPEG format, no larger than 200 KB, and the search engine will return celebrity pictures that are online.
It works much better if you are looking for a celebrity image.
3. Findface - Face search for VK.com
VK.com is Russia's largest social network. And FindFace promises that it can find any on VK.com. To try this service, you need to have a VK account. Then you have to grant rights to applicationof FindFace. Then you can upload a photo in JPG or PNG format that does not exceed 5 MB.
You can use filters in the original result depending on gender, age, location and relationship status.
4. Betaface - Demonstration of face recognition
Betaface offers facial recognition similar to PicTriev. You can upload an image or give the image URL and the face search engine will isolate all the faces it can find according to the photo you provided.
5. TwinsOrNot.net - Face similarity
Similar to the one with PicTriev, TwinsOrNot.net will figure out how many two uploaded photos you show are the same. This tool has been developed by Microsoft.
