Google Picasa Web Albums Helps You Find Familiar Faces

I’m kind of interested in the capabilities of Google Picasa Web Albums‘ to track people down in photos using facial recognition.  I tried it out with some good success while tagging people in my own albums.  I also did a review and how-to for MakeUseOf.com.  Today I was thinking of another way this technology can work to my benefit.

This week I go to camp with the teen group from my church (this post was actually written before leaving but I scheduled it to post while I’m away from the internet).  One thing the camp does is have photographers taking pictures all week so we can bring a CD home to enjoy (great idea, right?).  The only thing is that is is usually tedious finding the teens from our group for the slide show to show in church.

Well, what I think I will do is fallow this procedure:

1. Re-size the photos in order that they will take up less space so uploading them will be a snap.
2. Upload them to Google Picasa Web Album (keeping them private for safety reasons)
3. Use a group photo to grab familiar faces from
4. Hopefully tag just the teens we know
5. Note the name of the file (so I can go to the high-res photos on my HD and snag them)

What do you think, will it work?  I’ll let you know once I try it!
