Microsoft is operating on new face-recognition technology through a its OneAlbum job,
Office 2010 Home And Business Product Key, which permit users to uncover their pictures across many different social networks.OneAlbum is one more with the Microsoft Analysis projects that Microsoft is displaying off to its staff throughout this week;s TechFest 2010 investigation fair in Redmond. OneAlbum is actually a task under improvement by Microsoft Israel Innovation Labs. (Due to LiveSino.net;s PicturePan2 for the OneAlbum tip.)In the task description:“Today,
Buy Windows 7 Starter, my album refers to a collection of photographs I have taken. But a great number of photos relevant to me—such as photographs of me or my children—are in my friends; albums. OneAlbum automatically finds relevant photos in my friends; albums on social networks or in shared albums,
Office 2007 Professional Product Key, brings them to my album, and shows them side-by-side together with the pictures I;ve taken.”The “novel, unsupervised face-recognition algorithm” behind OneAlbum “analyzes the pictures in my album to discover automatically the faces of people I most care about, based on frequency of their appearance,

The algorithm has been tested on “real large-scale albums,” the site says, including those with “tens of thousands of photos” and has achieved accuracy rates up to 90 percent.The algorithm works by analyzing pictures in a user;s album, thus “learning” a user;s interests. It then assumes people in a user;s album are the most relevant to that user. The encounter detection technology that;s part of the task is being developed in collaboration with Microsoft Research and Microsoft Live Labs,
