A great toy on the is the Free Recognition Software from myheritage where you can simply upload a picture of yourself and check out which celebrities you look like..
MyHeritage Face Recognition runs in 3 steps:
The digital photo (or scanned photo print) that you provide, is loaded
Face detection technology is applied to automatically detect human faces in your photo ( * )
Face recognition technology is applied to recognize the faces detected in the previous step
( * ) If faces are missed out in step 2, you can mark them manually using the Marker.
Recognizing faces is done by algorithms that compare the faces in your photo, with all faces previously known to MyHeritage Face Recognition, through photos and meta-data contributed by yourself and other users. So the more photos added to the system, the more powerful it becomes. If people in your photos are not recognized well, it is likely that MyHeritage.com has never encountered them before. By adding these photos to MyHeritage.com and annotating the people in the photo manually, MyHeritage.com will "learn" these faces and will be able to recognize them in future photos, even in different ages of the same person's life.
Note: the algorithms used by MyHeritage Face Recognition are likely to find relatives of people in your photo, due to the genetic-based facial similarities that exist between relatives. You can use this to form connections between people whom you never even knew were related.
