Polar Rose makes photos searchable by analyzing their content and recognizing the people in them.
The Polar Rose plug-in for Firefox and Internet Explorer lets you discover who's in a picture on any public photo.
The plug-in detects people in online photos and places our signature rose approximately where the pinhole of their shirt would be. A click on the rose will bring up a tooltip with relevant information, including name and other photos found of the same person. As a user, you help train our engine by tagging names or verifying the data generated by Polar Rose or by your fellow users.
Polar Rose relies on a combination of our unique face recognition algorithms and the collective intelligence of our users.
The plug-in will be released in beta during the first quarter of 2007.
