OPLIN 4cast #545: Facial recognition reaches the mainstream
June 7th, 2017

[image: Facial recogntion] Facial recognition technology is coming to an
airport near you. While this may seem like we're now living in the future,
this technology *already* exists in Google Photos,  and it's being
implemented by a new security camera from Nest. It's beginning to hit the
mainstream. Will library cards be replaced with facial recognition
software? At the rates things are going, we may likely see that in our
lifetime.

   - Facial recognition technology is taking over airports: Your face is
   your new boarding pass

[Mashable]
   "JetBlue announced a plan to use the face scanning technology in lieu of
   traditional boarding passes. The airline is working with U.S. Customs and
   Border Protection in flights between Boston's Logan International Airport
   and Aruba's Queen Beatrix International Airport. "
   - Nest’s new camera uses the same facial recognition tech as Google
   Photos

[ReCode]
   "What’s being incorporated into the IQ is more advanced: It can distinguish
   between faces and remember faces that have been labeled by the user. It’s
   the same FaceNet technology used by Google photos to identify and organize
   faces found in images."
   - Microsoft merges advanced facial recognition and Bing image search in
   new Face Swap app

[Android
   Police] "Here, rather than swap two faces around as with other apps in the
   genre, you simply swap your face into an entirely different setting, no
   photoshop skills required. You take a selfie or pick one you've already
   taken, then use Bing image search within the app to find a new scene into
   which you can insert yourself. Once you've found that photo of an
   astronaut, basketball player, or politician, the app will automatically
   recognize the face in the target picture and swap yours in for it."
   - Facial recognition software can sense when a sheep is in pain
   <https://www.engadget.com/2017/06/02/facial-recognition-software-sheep-pain/>
   [Engadget] "When a sheep is hurting, it makes certain predictable facial
   expressions. It's so reliable, in fact, that scientists recently introduced
   the Sheep Pain Facial Expression Scale (SPFES) to easily determine the
   amount of pain a sheep feels. However, training humans to read these facial
   expressions and tics is time consuming; that's where the computer comes in."
