On CES 2011 exhibition Viewdle demonstrated their face recognition technology, no computer, no need for Internet, only a mobile phone can be done the complete process from the Portrait detection, Portrait study, create a file and identify in real time.
Now, Viewdle took their first product into the Android market, and its name is: Viewdle Social Camera.
Viewdle face recognition technology brings the “social image sharing”
This is not an experimental application, and it has a complete face recognition function, and “social image sharing” as the starting point, gives the user a real convenience.
The using procedure as follows:
Open the program and enter Portrait detection mode, at this time the portrait in the viewfinder will be circled by a white frame.
Click the picture, and name (the same with your contacts’ Facebook account information), to complete portrait study through this process.
Open the viewfinder mode again, this time the portrait in the frame will be circled by a green frame, whose name appears below.
Take a photo, the system will tell you the characters contained in the photo. (At this point you can append characters) Upload the picture, if it is Facebook, then the friends included in the picture will be automatically added to remind list, so your friends will receive a reminder e-mail, telling him, someone has took a photo for him.
CEO Laurent Gil said, Viewdle is the first company to introduce the face recognition technology into the mobile areas. Yes, similar applications such as: Face.com still requires the user to upload photos to the server, relying on complex calculations to identify the human face information. But Viewdle complete this all, moving and real-time.
The development of Face Recognition Technology is critical for Smart Phones:
Better camera program
We have already felt the fun of photography through Istagram, and Viewdle Social Camera brings the fun outside the filter. I believe that through an open API, Viewdle face recognition technology will make existing social photography procedures more availability.
Real Enhance
Viewdle have a vision, it wants to be the people’s socialization eyes: you only need to open the camera, you will be able to learn the latest information on this person in front of you, and he recently wrote in the Twitter, or the latest Facebook information.
It sounds a little taste of 007, the agents must very look forward such applications.
