What if…

You want to search for a person’s face on the world wide web? The best option is probably to use Google Image Search and check all the images, but the only bad part is that you will get a full picture instead of the face only. That is when the Google Portrait joins the party and detects face images using the Google Image + IDIAP + Torchvision.

After performing a search the results got 5 details:

• the face
• confidence
• size
• original image URL
• site

In case you didn’t understand how it works yet, here is a simple example…

When searching for Angelina Jolie you get the face image:

Pretty cool, huh? I mean the application, not the image ;p
