So many times, when you look at the photo of someone unknown, it can occur to you to look for who he is or who she is and to know the name of that person. It is that facial recognition that is made daily in American police, CIA and FBI TV shows: put the photo taken by a camera and the computer pulls out this person's name from a database. Well, there is no need to surf the Internet too much before realizing that this facial recognition technology, if any, is not yet available to everyone. However, you can find sites that use AI to find photos of people, looking for them by their name, also to find who they look like, using the sea of internet as their database. In fact, everything is based on social networks such as Facebook and Linkedin so it will be very difficult to find information and photos on those who do not use them or never upload personal images online. The fact remains that, having a name, you can try to look for someone and find their photos .
These are search engines for faces, faces and faces and all the information that a person has published on any website.
1) First of all, there is Google Images . With Google, in the past it was possible to search for faces, now there is just the button visible in the image search, in the left column.
In the search for images, just press on Faces and Googlare your name to see which photos of the face are on the internet, visible to anyone, relating to that name. If you only want to search for faces, you can also add the & imgtype = face parameter to the Google address link
Google has also activated image search .
2) PicTriev is a site that searches for similar faces by analyzing the face in photos, looking on the internet for people who look alike, with similar facial features. To use this website you only need to upload a photo of your face, or that of a friend, as a passport photo, in jpeg or jpg format, with a size no larger than 200KB. The search engine will give, as a result, the images found online of other similar faces and the estimated age of the person in the photo. Clearly you have to take the tool for what it is, a fun game that actually discovers which celebrity it looks like.
3) PimEyes gives you the ability to search faces from over 10 million websites with extraordinary power and works very similarly to Google Search. With this site you can search for a person by uploading up to 4 photographs of the face.
4) BetaFace is a site similar to PicTriev in the way it identifies photos. Just upload the photo or use a photo online by writing the URL to find similar or equal faces. If necessary, you can go a step further by comparing the faces of BetaFace with other search engines like Wikipedia and others and it is a perfect online tool for those who want to compare photos.
5) Another search engine, FaceSaerch, always relies on Google and searches for photos of faces and faces, based on the "tags" of the images. The site is still very nice to see, you write a name and the photos appear in a dynamic interface.
6) There are some websites that do more, not only look for photos and images that portray a person but bring out all the information published on the internet and not protected concerning him.
They are the sites to find people and photos by looking for the name such as, for example, Pipl that allows you to search for a boy or a girl by putting at least two fields as search keys between surname, name, city and country . On this site, which requires the registration of a free trial account, you can also search by nickname or nickname or by email address . Among the results are all the avatar images used in social networks or chats, all published images, posts written on blogs or forums and pdf documents where the name appears. Again the search is done using Google and social networks.
7) The site to compare two faces and see if they look alike is Twins Or Not, from Microsoft, very powerful and ingenious, described in another post.
8) You can activate the Facebook search engine to find photos and names, which only works in English, but which is certainly the best way to find anyone.
9) Find Face, service of the Russian social netowrk VKontakte, works well to find faces similar to that of the photo we upload.
10) Other similar sites are in the article on how to find who looks like you among famous people .
