Identity, Age And Emotion: Facial Recognition Garners Abundant Promotion

Face Detection, Face Recognition /

Facial recognition software developer Face.com has been in the news quite a lot in recent months. Back in late January, for example, the company launched a free iOS-based app called KLIK which "uses face recognition to let you quickly tag your friends in real-time. Fire up KLIK and watch as your friends' names instantly appear

Samsung’s Message To The Worried: Don’t Be So Paranoid

Face Detection, Face Recognition /

Remember my writeup of a few weeks ago, wherein I noted that the Terms of Service in Samsung's new TVs (containing image sensors, microphones, and networking transceivers) included a clause allowing third-party apps to make use of the monitoring system, and use the data gathered for their own purposes? Well, thanks to another Slashdot post,

Sit Up Straight! A Webcam Turns Your Computer Display Into A Parental Surrogate

Face Detection, Face Recognition /

Poor posture is a topic that my poor mother constantly harped on me about as a child. And considering how poorly I'm sitting as I type these words, her efforts were largely for naught. Nonetheless, her spirit lives on in Philips' 24-inch ErgoSensor Monitor, which leverages a built-in front-facing image sensor and software developed by

Google’s Project Glass(es): A Further Loss Of Privacy With A Touch Of Class

Augmented Reality, Privacy /

Remember Google's augmented reality glasses, the rumors of which I mentioned back in late February? Well, they're real, as it turns out, at least in prototype form. They're under development by the same 'Google X Lab' that is working on the company's autonomous automobile…and it's not April 1st, so I'm not fooling (although that's not

Facial Recognition Unlock: An iOS Jailbreak, And Samsung’s Photo Block

Face Detection, Face Recognition /

While perusing a video (shown below) which entices viewers to jailbreak their Apple handheld hardware (and was of interest to me only as a source of potential new apps to install…I've already jailbroken my two iPhone 4s, along with my fourth-generation iPod touch and first-generation iPad), I came across the above still frame and found

Unwanted Surveillance: An Inevitable Outcome of Consumer Non-Cognizance?

Face Detection, Face Recognition, Gesture Control, Privacy /

Remember the Samsung image sensor-inclusive televisions that I first mentioned in early January, with a follow-up blurb last Friday? Well, thanks to a Slashdot heads-up earlier today, I've got even more to say…and it's disturbing, to say the least. The title, "New Samsung TV Watches You Watching It," may be a sufficient topic tip-off, but

Embedded Vision In The News: Various Week-Ending Views

Gesture Control /

Ordinarily, my daily news writeups focus rifle-like on a single-subject theme, but I've collected a diversity of smaller tidbits in recent weeks. And so, for today I thought I'd choose a more shotgun-like approach to delivering information to you. Back in mid-January, I told you how Samsung was leveraging image sensors (and microphones) built into
