New personalized image search engine
A new personalized image search engine lets users see how they would look with a different hairstyle or colour, or in a different time period, age, country, and much more.
The new search engine, called Dreambit, was developed by a University of Washington computer vision researcher.
After uploading a photo, you type in a search term – such as “curly hair,” “India”, or “1930s.”
The software mines Internet photo collections for similar images in that category and maps the person’s face onto the results.
Dreambit draws on facial processing, recognition, three-dimensional reconstruction, and age progression research, combining all the algorithms.
The new software can also help show what a missing child or person evading the law might look like if their appearance has been changed.
