On iPhoto face recognition

November 29th, 2010

As I add more photos to iPhoto, it seems to get better at recognizing real-life people. It helps that most of the portraits I take are of a small group of friends, or of myself, like above.

Even on photos with multiple people, iPhoto does a decent job. Where it really shines is in pure face recognition – flagging faces of people I don’t even know.

It’s kind of magical, the way iPhoto operates.

But oh man, when it gets faces wrong? Hilarious.

Thanks for the entertainment, iPhoto.
