Thousands of pics of Elijah - and one Steve Buscemi - in one [5120 x 5120 pixels] Pic !
Hi there,
Did I mention that I have a new laptop ? I've just installed there the latest version of Google's Picasa software, and I have to say, a new fast computer and the latest version of Picasa's face recognition software add up to really impressive results !
It recognised by itself 9000+ pics of one and the same unknown person on my harddisk. I checked the first few hundreds of the results, and they all correctly were showing Elijah, in various ages from about 10 years old to now (how did it do that ? - recognise the youth and the adult as one and the same person ? - Impressive !). I must have missed one incorrectly as that same person identified Steve Buscemi though, because when I gave a name to that one unknown person - Elijah Wood - Picasa offered me to create a collage out of all of them, which I agreed to. The result can be seen below. Once you click through to the super Hi-Res Version, and once you look very closely, you may spot the one Steve Buscemi in the midst of the thousands of Elijahs. Of course, among the source pictures had also been manips and watermarked pictures, so that explains why some of them do look a little bit strange.

What do you think ? I've never seen something like that before !
By the way, the pic IS uploaded as a complete pic. If you should click the link, and the pic should only appear as half of a pic, you have to close the window, clear your browser cache, and open it once again, until it is displaying fully.
Love,
