Picasa, with facial recognition

Picasa has new version. Or take a few hours, when it launches its new feature recognition of faces that has been implemented in this service, resulting from its disposal when the Neven Vision acquired a couple of years ago.

Accompanying this feature will further the possibility of sending photos by mail or browse all images uploaded to the service through a specific view, along with a beta version of Picasa 3.0, the desktop version of the application.

The facial recognition will make us easier to add labels to our photographs identifying who appears in each one. To do so, Picasa will show us all that we have photos which cree que son of the same person so that we can add the tag.

So far, the system has some limitations and works best when the person is looking directly at the camera and not have shadows or other problems with the lighting. The labels will not automatically be added by default public to maintain the privacy of users. In addition, only labels may be added such our own pictures.

So far, the software Picasa is only available for Windows and Linux, but do not rule out a Mac version in the future. The web service, however, is available to any browser.
