Apple has a new commercial touting their face recognition software, which allows you to select a face from a picture and will then search your hard drive for other pictures with the same face. Would that work on the entire internet? It could revolutionize porn surfing; just select the face of a hot chick and search every pic on the internet for more photos of her. Maybe google will add that software to their image search...

Well, that answers the question of whether other Peachyites were thinking the same thing as I was when I saw that commercial the other day.  That leaves my question of whether any Mac users out there have experimented with seeing how well that software works on the porn on your own computer yet (even though you pretty well already know the answers--but then you may well already know where all your girlfriend's pix are on your computer, too)?  My question is mainly aimed at the discussions we have here about how much (certain) different porno models resemble each other and how much porno models' looks change from decade to decade.  The only person I know with a Mac is my aunt, and she gets really annoyed when I ask her to add to my porno with it.

use tineye.com for reverse image search (face recognition etc.)

Wow, thanks.  It never occurred to me that such a site might even exist. TinEye is coming at things from a different angle (matching various elements of specific images) but it's gonna be fascinating to play around with!  Only one of my first three searches was successful

http://tineye.com/search/caa3f3af450f89fd2d872166de26307b6d087cd9 and it's nn, as TinEye says they won't do porno, but that's a start.  [From what they say, my experimental search'll only remain here for a couple? weeks or something like that.]

Neat. Tineye will return porn results, but I had many unsuccessful attempts before getting results.  I just uploaded pics directly to the main page without creating an account; dunno if that makes a difference...

Thanks.

it finds most of the time. but since it is beta, they don't have a full index of internet like google. nevertheless it's a good resource.

Yeah.  It's been interesting trying out but, if my first attempt hadn't been with a model's over-a-decade-old image, I suppose I would have gotten discouraged and dropped it all.  As it was, only one of the three matches for that image featured an altered pic--with the background changed.

The only other results I got were for a couple rock album sleeves, and those were simply exact duplicates of the cover images I'd uploaded, and then one other album cover drew a bunch of hits due to it featuring a famous old painting.  That Abby Road search that TinEye used as an example sure is interesting but apparently such results are pretty rare.  

I tried a couple searches for models wearing Snoopy t-shirts but not even those brought back any other Snoopy images (let alone more pix of those gals).  39 other pix, mostly of (nn) babes, also failed utterly.  And then one search for an actress's pic provided one exact repeat of the same image.

I'm not complainin'.  TinEye is free, and it's a fun concept, but, yeah, I guess it'll work a lot better in another year, after they've had the chance to assemble more of a database to work from.

Tineye states they do not search for what is in the picture (faces, etc.) but instead search for copies of whatever picture you upload, even if the copy has been altered.  Accordingly, you will only get duplicates (possibly altered) of whatever pic you upload.  If you have a single pic of a girl and wish you had the whole series, tineye can be useful to find that series by finding duplicates of the single pic you have.  This has worked for me with a couple pics I have downloaded from Peachyforum.  Oddly, tineye doesn't return results from peachyforum itself, but they claim to search a mere 1.04 billion pics and there are way more pics on the web than that.  Hopefully the database will expand.  When true facial recognition technology becomes available, it will revolutionize my porn searches.

nice idea. it'd just be fantastic!!

think that -in a couple of years- you can find a teen's amateur photo in the first place where it was uploaded! it's just grate!

Short answer no.  Long answer not for many years. Using the program on your own computer how long does it take to finish a single search?

Multiply that by the number or servers that contain porn. A search like that with the methods used would probably take decades. In a hundered years when processors are faster then you can imagine, maybe. You have to consider that the internet will also grow at a similiar rate. Will it be possible eventually sure but I think I would take some massive improvements in the the techniques they use. On the other hand if the server moderators could provide a unique binary representation of a human face automatically and quickly It could work in the same manner as google and instead of matching the faces you could just match a binary string.

 

Well I think for porn sites vagina recognition would work even better....
