While the UI is about as round-eyed as could be , under the exhaust hood Google is usinga sophisticated facial recognition systemto map substance abuser ’ facial features , which need edit out the photos and reorienting them to ensure a clear view . Google then compare those map with similar ones it ’s fabricate from portrait in the 70,000 - plus works of art in its Google Art Project database .
In general , Google Arts and Culture is very expert at sire works of art that look like users — including when they seek to trick it with makeup or headdress . Here ’s a sample distribution of its pairings :

Your milage may vary . I retain on getting Sebastiano del Piombo ’s 1525 portrait of Florentine political leader Anton Francesco degli Albizzi ( 1486–1537 ) , who theMuseum of Fine Arts , Houston writeswas described as “ overbearing , overbearing , and uneasy and was beheaded for treason by Cosimo I de ’ Medici , grand duke of Tuscany . ” I do n’t really look like the bozo , but at least the verbal description sounds about right .
The Arts and Culture app is available on thePlay Storeand Apple’sApp storehouse . Google claim that it does n’t put in any of the photos uploaded for the purposes of this feature longer than it take to action them for comparisons , but by using it , keep in intellect you ’re essentially consenting to contribute to the fellowship ’s facial - recognition technical school .
