The smartphone that recognizes faces. Google will do – The Republic

The AIM is to integrate the technology directly into the hardware. Thus, it will also work without the aid of third-party software and internet. In the future it will be directly smartphones, in fact, and not individual applications, to recognize the face of those who use them or object that frame. Google, as reported by the Wall Street Journal , is working with the startup Movidius, specializing in chip to integrate the technology of image recognition, including face, directly in phones, in terms of “hardware” and not software. The facial recognition technology, in particular, is also used by Facebook but hardly debut in Italy and in Europe, at the moment, given the position of the Guarantors Privacy.

Movidius announced ad-hoc collaboration that will help to bring in mobile devices Google the future of “deep learning”, the ‘”learning” of the machines made possible by artificial intelligence technology that mimics the human brain. So Google will allow mobile devices to carry out “in-house” type of processing – very complex – required by image recognition, rather than relying on remote data centers.

Google already uses the technology of image recognition in His Photos application, where you can do a search for keywords – such as “food” or “children” – getting the photos grouped ad hoc. However this is an operation that requires you to have previously uploaded photos online and requires an internet connection to allow the software to analyze the images and return results. Instead integrating technology in hardware, smartphones could identify objects in real time with no internet uses that range from the authorization of financial transactions to help blind people.
