Face recognition AI

Hi!
The current Face Recognition AI does a decent job at recognising known faces, but there’s still room for improvement,.
I’ve been thinking… is there any way users can “help” it? Whenever a known person is not recognised in a recording, users could manually map the face in the recording to the known person, in this way improving the AI ability to recognise that person, over time.

Is this remotely feasible?

Thanks!

This face Recognition frightens me …

Facial recognition has been about for quite a while.

The biggest users have been casinos. If you’ve been caught cheating, or counting cards, your photo is shared amongst all the casinos, and as soon. As you go to step inside, it’ll recognise you, and warn security.

Also security services have used for years, for the obvious reasons.

Yet some how, your phone rejects you, unless you do the pose you did the day you set it up. I usually end up entering my pin, or fingerprint… Due to some daft sod at Samsung decided to stick it at the back, and furthest away from the right… This hardest to reach. Of course when set up, you place your fingertips in several different ways to try to cover the whole finger, but yet again… Not quite… Oops enter pin!

Sony had the right idea, and out the fingerprint scanner in the on/off button. Which of course you use everytime you turn the screen on.

The idea, I love. Yet phones haven’t quite got it. They use a photo, rather than science to recognise you, same with iris scanners.

(Yes I know it’s fiction) even CSI showed that facial recognition is done by a few measurements, which if done correctly will ID you behind a balaclava.

I’m thinking this year’s trend for smartphones is to start releasing in-display fingerprint scanner

I have the same opinion, @ikari04warrior.

And the next step will be face recognition - then you just have to look at your phone …AND - the producer has a very important and valuable data set - your face combined with name, address, phone number and so on: imagine the value of such a data set !

So take care: in life there is nothing for free - and simplifications sometimes have a very big impact on the other side …

I get what you are saying, however that’s the way we are headed right now. It’s hard to believe phone companies won’t use our biometrics and data for marketing purposes

I like the idea being able to help the recognition by mapping it to a known person or create a new one.
