Myfaceid.com - Find Faces Online

Haven’t we all used the application that employs face recognition technology to compare our faces with those of celebrities? MyFaceID takes this search a bit closer to home. The technology allows users to search within the MyFaceID database for others that look like them.

Moreover, the site will allow users to search for their own faces in photos and video. Outside of the search process, the site gives members the ability to make composite faces. The technology was developed by Betaface, a German face detection and recognition company, that is now making this technology free to consumers. They also have a facebook application.

“MyFaceID is a free media search service based on biometric facial recognition technology.”

Once the technology becomes available for use outside of the MyFaceID website, this technology could prove useful to track down old, untagged photos of yourself or others, or look for long lost relatives with similar facial features. Ultimately, it could bring another layer to the standard search process.

Could MyFaceID open the way for a gross invasion of privacy? Could it allow potential stalkers to glean information on you with just a click of a camera phone on the street? Could potential employers look for de-tagged and unaccounted for photos of you on facebook to use against you?
