Polar Rose, a Swedish firm, plans to make it possible for users to search through photos of people online.
It relies on a combination of face recognition algorithms and the collective intelligence of users for the same.
Originally developed by CTO Jan Erik Solem, the software is unique in that it is able to extract 3D information from regular 2D images.
The company plans on releasing browser plugins for both Firefox and Internet Explorer which you can use to discover who’s in a picture on any public photo.
Polar Rose currently has a beta program which I have signed up for so that I can test the software.
