Face Detection by PS3

[gbhcr007]

wow, you have sth for bush huh?

[imad321]

I think it is not really face detection.... but if it is then i must say its really amazing..... because most of the common face detection algorothims are able to spot a face if its is in a full frontal view... u see in many of the sample images the faces were exremely tilted and in most of them they were shadowed

[aaborkar]

I think you need to run some more test. If it is doing some face detection, it is probably doing something pretty simple. Try putting a black and white image and see if it still holds up? Possiblity is that the PS3 is doing some simple skin color segmentation....

[digicam95]

It's the theme from 'The Saint'.

[DarkImek]

Face tracking isnt new technology for the ps3. It's quite common practise for it to be used with video productions and has come with some webcam software for a good few years now

[s146361]

Who the hell cares...

When blue-ray is defunct and no one uses it just like sonys other product - betamax remember that what a load of shit that was. But sony dont learn there lesson cause assholes like to waste their money on weak, inferior tech. Wake up ps3 owners trade in ur ps3 before its too late...

[360Hater]

LOL everywhere I go I see you copy and paste same shiet..

You must work for Microsoft, suck their balls much?

[Mekanaizer]

Betamax is still use today by TV channels, did you know that? And by the way Betamax is far better then VHS. VHS only won because of its price at that time and now VHS is dead and Betamax still sells for TV channnels use. Funny isn't it?!!!!!!

[superaktieboy]

wht are you one about?? bluray is selling 2:1 with the HD DVD, and BluRay players are selling 5:1 with HD DVD players :S

[CSplayahata]

blu-ray is better than HD-DVD the disk protection in the BLu-RAy is better than an HD-DVD. Also PS3 is pussing the sales

[AgileMJOLNIR]

Oh please. I have a library of regular DVD's and never scratched one so bad it couldn't be played so the same goes for HD-DVD. Blue-ray holds more data (which they have yet to need) and HD-DVD has more interactive features on it's movies (look at 300 on both formats to see what I mean). Other than that the picture quality and sound are the same.

[jxales]

HD DVD does have more features that's true but many were just lame. However transformers will have you disagree that Blu-rays extra space is unnecessary. If you recall the HD DVD version of transformers didn't have lossless audio due to space constraints. They chose extra content over lossless audio. The coming Blu-ray version has lossless audio and all extra content.

so that point has already been defeated.

[Subtalvik2]

And here we are four months later, the real winner of this argument is now CSplayahata.

[AgileMJOLNIR]

What argument? Everything I stated was factual despite Blu-rays victory. I didn't make anything up, read my comment again.

[Subtalvik2]

Niggers can suck my cock, all they can do is hump trees.

[seanluxor]

Facts about PS3 that xbox360 fanboys cant admit.

Shows PS3 is beter and more worth buying.

Click on my name.

[DGVPRODUCTIONS]

the ps3 will rise up and while were sleeping shoot us between the eyes.

[Darkmire]

Very cool feature, but it's not really as advanced as it seems. There's no reason that even the DS couldn't do it. That said, PS3 is the only system that does it, and it's a neat feature.

[MAXXPRO]

certo ch la sony nn ha un cazzo da fare eh..

[Henrymax]

Its true!

[sdlxanax]

I'd say the more interesting point in your vid is your un-natural infatuation with Linsay Lohan and George Bush? The PS3 is following a simple algorythm - that is - zoom to a pre-defined color spectrum. You would most likely find if you do the same thing with a nature shot it will zoom to (or from) the lightest part of the picture.

[digicam95]

I tried many pictures, sdlxanax. For nature images, there is no significant zooming/panning.

[Dirtfire]

I personally think this uses a new theory formulated by Jeff Hawkins, called "Hierarchical Temporal Memory", oulined in his 2004 book. You can find talks by Hawkins on youtube and Google video.

[Dirtfire]

Go over to the Numenta website, click on "education" and download their Whitepaper. Read the section "why is hierarchy important?".

This'll give you a good idea on what I think is going on here.

[Dirtfire]

Ok, scratch that. I found out they don't use HTMs.

These face-tracking things have been around for years, and even Google Images now has a feature whereby you can do a search for pictures that only contain faces.

[rambomator]

Interesting....and boring ^^

[CloudedGem]

nice, yet another feature added to the billions of features on the ps3.

[NoMONKEYS]

is this for real?

[pedromaxfat]

how does it do it?

[krazykris83]

cool video, very clever how the PS3 can do this, cant wait to get mine

[ImDaFox]

GASP! THIS IS OBVIOUS PROOF THAT 9/11 WAS PLANNED BY GEORGE W BUSH.... cough.

[Forsete]

People on YouTube are retards (or retarded fanboys with a hint of downs syndrome).. Nice video digicam95, very cool feature.

[slyda007]

ok, so? psj99... simple cpu can do this. I wanna play games, not mess with pics.

[RustySoldier]

idiot

[slyda007]

stop being a fanboy... it's neat, but not a big selling point... idiot.

[RustySoldier]

nobody ever said it was a big selling point

[slyda007]

right.

[yudilks]

What is the title of the background music?

[digicam95]

Its the theme music of 'The Saint'.

[ComicalGenius]

The fact that it actually picks up the faces in a picture is pretty cool...Ok, now I'm bored with it.

[EMH88]

holy crap!!!!1!!!11 now I'm gonna destroy my wii to get the pos3! teh music is so much better than in teh photo channel!!1!!

[RustySoldier]

fucking idiot

[fidelio53]

very well!

[ohitsdanman]

ur living int he past if shizznappers like this amazes you.

[mpclax]

stupid.... the clip shows several counterexamples, where it's zooming or panning AWAY from the face. DUH.

[mbezifinest]

And so that somehow makes this video stupid?Retard,probably an Xbot.

[Kontinasu]

wow, like every other slideshow software, well worth $600

[psj99]

a simple computer does the same thing

[alex8912]

whats this got to do with ps3 though.

[elpablogrande]

...and i thought i had no reason to spend $600 on a PS3...

[acematthew]

I must be blind cause I see nothing

[akilles88]

wow.

you are a retard.

[CCGrocksU]

my wii decects faces for 250.

hahaha

[mbezifinest]

So you bought that cheapass gimmick LOL?

[crwk8]

shame on you! if u r old enuff to like seinffield, fraiser and vote for bush you must be relly sick to be into lindsay

[TJordan1986]

Meh... knowing the kinds of calculations any gaming console has to do on a regular basis, this kind of thing doesn't surprise me.

[FreshNsexy]

i dont get how it didnt recogniose homer simpson, what was supposed to happen

[dantes53]

dont understand

[super5owen]

I dont get whuts so amazing ??? like it zomes on people's face's wow interesting

[AichaProductions]

imovie ppl imovie... do the research

[lordJordo]

Thanks for flameing me for no backing or research, its accually called the Ken Burns effect and was intergrated in imovie 04 as an automatic face and central point detector and slowly zooms into this point as such in this, thus 3 year old technology not worth you praise!

[rinygrin]

I'd never thought I see Lindsay Lohan and George W. Bush clash together! XD

[lordJordo]

u r an idiot, this is somtihing called the ken brunsun effect and its on just about every slideshow maker ever!

[bradjustinen]

LORDJORDO you couldn't be more of a retard!

[mertan]

no it think ull find ur the idiot it is called the ken burns effect like he rightly said not the ken brunsen lol

[Moe70]

thats minor i can do it on vb

[Gimmeabreakman]

Why, "unfortunately"?

[machriderx]

uh.. the guy said "unfortunately for you" meaning he finds it unfortunate that the other guy doesn't realize it does more.. anyway I have nothing to do with this convo and I'll stfu now but that should of been obvious

[rockmanjoey]

amazing cpu, but it needs to do more than that to be worth the cash in my pocket

[lewghost]

$600 for a slide show,... good job with the vid and your money, NOT

[kilowaa]

yeah it does i have one too.

[ShoppingCart328]

Did i miss something? What was so interesting about this?

[frainfam]

Apparently, I missed it too.

[cpnjack]

For 600 dollars it better make your mother in law look pretty.

[uniterscron]

ha! it didnt get homer!

[realchaos1]

those clever Japanese peoples, you gotta love'em

[tamrix]

i thought the ps3 slide show had those photos that dropped onto the white background, like real photos

[thepeter]

*standing ovation*

[antznguyen]

Nice vid man.. trying doing a picasso too :)

[nekk0nekk0]

Mac OS X also does the same thing, i don't understand what's the fuss about this...

[stalin9]

Its because its a games console

[hudstone420]

\hgmhmgvhgm

[CrimsonTearsExile]

Cool video!

[somfalvibalazs]

maybe you just manipulated something on the video. how can we know for sure. But maybe you are right let the public decide.

[mysonyps3]

Incredibly Awesome! It will take years to dig out all the hidden treasures like the B3yond Playstation web site was for getting to the power hidden in this black box. ;)

[chilaxe]

what song is that?

[digicam95]

That was the theme music from 'The Saint'.

[digicam95]

Glad you didn't say I had a th

[nyblad]

[pumpfreak]

thats very coool

[GIGOLO005]

WOW NICE MAN I GON TRY IT ON MY

[Shenryu888]

... wow... that's some really weird processing going on right there. PS3 is an enigma.
