Google's Picasa Launching Face Recognition Software
At noon in Mountain View, Google will announce the launch of face recognition software in their latest version of Picasa, according to Cnet.com.
The software will help people tag names to their photographs - handy for that odd face in a group shot you are not sure of. Now I wonder how long it will be before one of the crime shows makes use of it in the field when they do not have access to their lab!
Hey it may not have access to police records yet... but knowing Google a collaboration no doubt will eventually come. Versions for small police departments would make sense and further ingrain the brand.

Face recognition software has become very popular of late. The ability to render and develop face points and recognize the unique mix of facial features helps in the process of face recognition.
The recognition software finds landmarks as they are called. So those TV show programs now really do exist and the facial recognition is a lot more effective.
