What is the best way to ask people if they've seen a missing person?
As far as I know, there is no existing example of this idea in use by police agencies. However, there is a site called MyHeritage Face Recognition that will allow you to upload a face and find out which celebrity you might resemble.
I tried it with a picture of Tommy Lee Jones - and the site correctly recognized the actor. I then picked at random a picture of Jesse James, the famous 19th century American outlaw. MyHeritage thinks that he closely resembles Alan Turing, the 20th century mathematician.
Thanks to John for pointing this one out. Comment/Join this discussion ( 2 ) | RSS/XML | Blog This | Additional
