“It is our goal to be able to identify any image,” he said. “It represents our earliest efforts in the field of computer vision. You can take a picture of an item, use that picture of whatever you take as the query.” – Vic Gundotra of Google

Wow. Just think of the possibilities with:

  • FACIAL IMAGE search…imagine being able to quickly identify everyone based on a quick snapshot…there goes anonymity
  • Imagine being able to identify someone’s face and quickly checking their background criminal records, their friend connections, their finances, and even health history.
  • Imagine being able to quickly identify someone’s PREFERENCES by seeing their TWITTER/FACEBOOK updates just by seeing their face!
  • ..alright this is huge!
