Face Recognition Website - Off-topic post

This is an off-topic post, but it has to do with websites, so I'm justifying it that way.  We try to keep the main feed clean from oddball stuff like this, but any of you fathers out there understand why I posted this here once you get to the bottom.

Per Scott H, I thought I would check this MyHeritage thing out.  I though, “Wow, this has got to be some pretty cool software!”.  I’m sure it just works by matching particular points on the face, length measurements from those points to other points and some other funky stuff.

Here are a couple of my matches.  I think my wife would be happy.

Yeah, I did end up with a few wierd people in my list, but at least a couple of nice looking fellows showed up, so of course I like it.

Then, I took a photo of my daughter and put it in.  This face recognition thing is the shnizzle (is it still cool to say that?  was it ever?).

And here are a couple of my daughter’s matches!


Looks like I'll need to be polishing up and loading the guns before too long.  There's only one way to meet your daughters date.  That's with gun in hand.

On topic ! To the heart; it's about what you can do with software.
