...sort of

Face++ is high-end face recognition software built by the Chinese company Megvii. According to its website, it provides "the cutting-edge technology of computer vision and data mining to provide 3 core vision services (Detection, Recognition, and Analysis)" for developers to build the technology into their apps.

It also includes a demo that takes your picture and tells you what celebrity you look like.

I got some weird results from the picture I uploaded!

Elizabeth Taylor
Yang Ying
Hao Lei
Anne Hathaway
Larysa Bakurova
Xu Fan
Angelina Jolie
Miao Yiyi

It seems with it being made by Chinese developers there's a whole load of Chinese celebs in there! Which you'll get matched with even if you're not Chinese. Interesting nonetheless.

I'm sure there's a terrible and racist joke in here about white people all looking alike but I won't make it.

Lol, I always get Grace Kelly with these things which just makes me go... "I wish!"

Now that I see it in Mr.Pole's post I can kind see the link between SMG and Tom Cruise though... they both have kind of singular noses. Not necessarily similar but for a computer I could see that it could be.

Taake: I like that you got Nicole Kidman twice

Oh no, that's not me! That's just the photo from the article. 🙂
