Google Photos will allow you to group photos by faces and recognize objects
A few days from the event for developers Google I/O where the company is expected to reveal all the details of its new application and photography service independent from the social network Google+, more and more details about it are filtered and learned. After learning about its appearance and some of its characteristics, it is now known that Google Photos is an intelligent service capable of recognizing faces and objects of the photographs, thus helping the user to order all these contents.
The clues are given by the media Android Police, who have had access to a preliminary version of the Google Photos application for the platform Android In it the team has discovered an interesting feature called auto-groups A section that helps to reorder photos in the gallery according to different criteria. Something that Google+ was already capable of doing, but which seems to have been developed and improved for the solo launch of this photo storage service.
In this way, when accessing the search section, it is possible to browse different galleries of photos. The images are the same ones that the user has stored, the difference is that these groups or albums are now found by facesAnd it is that Google Photos is able to recognize faces of family and friends that appear differently repeated in the photographs. Thus, a list of faces appears in the gallery, being able to click on any of them and find other images in which that person also appears, even if it is in the background from image. Something quite amazing and that helps the user to find any related image. But there is more.
In addition to the set of faces, Google Photos is able to recognize other objects and items on photos to group them. In this way it is possible to find groups and albums focused on showing the cars, dogs, horizons, sunsets, animals and even boats that appear in the images, among many other categories. All of them ordered after visiting the album Cosas
According to comments in the media Android Police, the application surprises by how tuned it is on many occasions, recognizing cats, skies, beers and other types of photography that fit perfectly in each section. Of course, they also affirm that is not perfect, and that some images may be confused, mixing dogs and catsor misinterpreting the elements in the frame. Something that will possibly be improved over time. Always keeping in mind that the version of the application to which they have had access could not be the definitive
In any case, a new feature to add value to this independent application that will begin to populate, predictably, Android smartphones in as soon as just a few days.And it is that his presentation is expected to take place during Google I/O the next day May 28 either. We will have to wait to be able to see and test this tool up close, and if it exceeds the characteristics of what has already been seen in Google+ or Picasa , where Google already used image recognition.
