  1. The web already has a "face database" on ACLU Examines Face-Recognition System · · Score: 1

    Check out images.google.com

    type in "your name" in quotes in the search engine. If you have a home page with a picture, it will probably come up. Ok, so you have a home page, you can't really complain about your picture being online.

    But, if you've ever been pictured in an online newspaper, (as in, local high school soccer team wins state championship, team members include: name, name, name, name), that picture may also be indexed and searchable by your name.

  2. Make a bad painting from a good photograph on Image Processing By Example · · Score: 2

    Hey this is pretty cool. You take a good photograph, and make it into a bad painting. Paining is more than just mixing oil paints to be the average color for part of an image... Van Gogh paintings typically emphasize the edges, the cheekbones, the jaw, the eyebrows. I'm bitter that someone can take an image, use xv to sharpen the image and then shift the colors and get a PhD out of it. I wonder if he was funded by the department of defense?

  3. You should "Open Source" the presentation... on Driving Out Costs with Open Source Tools? · · Score: 2

    To effectively compete with the Microsoft marketing office, one should create a set of presentation materials for just this purpose. If this presentation is "open sourced", perhaps in successive uses it can be optimized to address the concerns of larger companies with internal technical support departments.
