Digital Trends – Google has acquired face recognition software company PittPatt, and likely will implement this technology into Google+âs photo feature. âAt Google, computer vision technology is already at the core of many existing products (such as Image Search, YouTube, Picasa, and Goggles), so itâs a natural fit to join Google and bring the benefits of our research and technology to a wider audience. We will continue to tap the potential of computer vision in applications that range from simple photo organization to complex video and mobile applications,â a statement from PittPatt reads.
