Detection and pose estimation impressive and fast
From 4 comments
Very good demo and it also happens to be related to my interests so here's my little analysis. 1, The face detection of this program is more impressive than the face recognition.…
ktharavaad on HNOK, I'm not familiar with MatLab performance. :-) But image processing is very computationally expensive, and the demo here is unbelievably fast. It must be optimized for its…
10ren on HNMy first R&D project at my company when I just got out of college was in image recognition, so this is pretty interesting. Here's 2 I did:…

No download or access path for the technology

So...how exactly does one go about getting a-hold of this technology? There is no download link and it's not clear if the contact link will result in my being sent a demo.

Questions
What implementation language is used
From 2 comments
Impressive. What's the implementation language? I assume C.
10ren on HNWhy do you assume that? It could just as well be MatLab or something similar, that makes fiddling with multimedia very easy.

Can templates be precomputed for faster comparison
From 1 comment
Does this technology work using both images simultaneously? Or could lots of images be pre-processed individually into something that allowed a cheaper comparison? Just to try to…
