ulu의 생각…

Polar Pose / 이미지 얼굴인식해 tagging을 도와주는 솔루션. 인식이라는것이 training set이 많아지면 인식률은 올라가고. 하지만 한계가 명확한 기술. 지금의 CS는 모두 ML이라고 해도 과언이 아니지….

@Jeff @Pat Hawks and other users who experienced problems with getting photos to appear on Polar Rose. We released a fix earlier today that should make your photos appear (and this time all of them!) much quicker.

For more details, see our blog post about the fix:

I have been wondered why all these high-end research companies including Polar Rose which involve in state-of-the-art research in rocket science topics as computer vision do develop and target application for web use? First of all it is a waste of time and useless because there is no obvious advantage (monetization). Computer vision application makes tons of money targeting industrial & automation domain. For example, there is a local company here in New Zealand call Compac Sort that develops state-of-the-art computer-vision-based industrial system that automatically sorts fruits. Fruit sorting used to be done manually (ie, by humans), but now humans are being made redundant as machines can now see (artificial eyes or vision) and judge good fruits which are to be packaged from the bad ones that are to be eliminated. Compac Sort have got some installations in California and they're growing fast internationally especially in North America. See, this is useful application of computer-vision which definitely gets huge revenue potential. In web application of computer vision, it is useless and a waste of technology use. It is also a waste of brains in developing something cutting edge like that to be used in time-wasting online social networkings. If those brains who are doing/developing computer vision application think outside of Facebook (a time-wasting application), then they will have huge earning potentials.

Just a quick note to clarify that Flickr is not throttling access to their APIs. We are investigating where the bottlenecks are.

Sorry for any confusion on this matter.

It hasn’t found any yet…

Ever since Picasa and iPhoto ‘09 released facial recognition, I’ve been wondering when a way to do Flickr would come about.

This seems to be a better solution than even if Flickr did it in house, since we can not aggregate data from Facebook. Props to the Polar Rose team, I’ll definitely have to test this out.

it just doesn’t freaking work? not only the flickr integration but also keeps identifying backgrounds as faces?

I think you’ll like it Thomas, give it a try after the TC traffic spike dies down.

They’re running into issues with limits on the Flickr API. Will post here when that changes…

FYI the old beta of Polar Rose used a plugin the new Polar Rose released today does not – it imports the users photos from Flickr, other photo sharing sites will be added in upcoming releases.

the Flickr photos take a few minutes to load, but I’m using PolarRose.com to successfully identify my Facebook friends in my Flickr photos right now.

Apple iPhoto ‘09 also has similar technology.

The thing that is interesting about Polar Rose is that their approach is a distributed model that will work with any photo host in the future. Flickr is simply the starting point.
