That's the logic behind a new application developed by Carnegie Mellon University's Robotics Institute and Google that's designed to take a photograph of a total stranger and, using the facial recognition software PittPatt, track down their real identity in a matter of minutes. (...) With Carnegie Mellon's cloud-centric new mobile app, the process of matching a casual snapshot with a person's online identity takes less than a minute. Tools like PittPatt and other cloud-based facial recognition services rely on finding publicly available pictures of you online, whether it's a profile image for social networks like Facebook and Google Plus or from something more... more... - Amira from Bookmarklet

Furthermore, under the best possible conditions, a photograph of Sanjay Gupta taken for the purpose of doing a piece on facial recognition, in good lighting and full face, the match was only 70%. http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2011... Could you bring a 70% match into court? But you can kill someone with a 70% match, probably less. - Berthe
