Facebook, Picture This: Auto-Tagging with Facial Recognition
PicsMatch Introduces New Technology to Social Media
January 19, 2009
 

DAYTON, Ohio - PicsMatch, software developed by Initial Point, has added a new feature that can benefit the over 150 million active users of Facebook. The social network allows for individuals to connect and make connections all over the world. Users of Facebook have the availability to create groups and events, find old high school friends, upload photos and much more.

With over 800 million photos uploaded monthly to the Facebook site, PicsMatch will expedite the process of uploading and tagging. The tagging feature of Facebook lets users who upload the photo identify and name every individual within the shot. Now, with the help of PicsMatch, users can eliminate the often tedious process of tagging each one of their uploaded photos by having it automatically occur through their facial recognition feature.

With the same technology used by the military, PicsMatch developed a process to scan your digital photos and automatically identify photos, sort by their date/time stamp, and assist users in quickly compiling key dates and holidays. The Facebook feature takes it one step further. Once it has sorted and identified, it will automatically tag photographs that an individual chooses to publish on their Facebook page.

“Consumers around the world love to capture memories through photographs and share them with friends and family. Facebook is one of many online sites where our customers have chosen to upload photographs,” said Tony Blankemeyer, Vice President for PicsMatch. “With our new software, we have developed a feature that everyone on Facebook can benefit from. The ability to eliminate the hassle of selecting every person in every photo they want to share. PicsMatch makes it quick and easy.

PicsMatch will continue to evolve with updates and offer free software upgrades to all current users. The software is available exclusively online at www.PicsMatch.com.
