Google Glass integrated 'fashion fingerprint'

In addition to the ability to identify faces, smart glass Google Glass can also help wearers identify acquaintances through clothing, according to news reports New Scientist (UK) posted on 9/3.

This identity system, called InSight , was created to help Google Glass users find acquaintances, or be recognized by friends using Google Glass , while standing in crowded places like shopping centers and stadiums. cave and airport.

In such crowded places, the face recognition system will be difficult to operate gifts because it is likely that the person looking for it will not look directly at Google Glass, Mr. Srihari Nelakuditi, developer of InSight technology of the University South Carolina (USA), said.

Therefore, Mr. Nelakuditi and technology experts at Duke University (USA) created an identification system based on the characteristic characteristics of an individual, ranging from clothing to jewelry, handbags and glasses.

The aforementioned fashion feature, called 'fashion fingerprint' , is built with an application that captures a series of images of users while they are surfing the web or reading emails.

This application will create a file that stores information about colors, materials and textures (such as horizontal stripes or vertical stripes) of clothes that users wear.

The aggregated data above will make it easier to identify an individual even at a distance.

To protect personal privacy, 'fashion fingerprints' change every time users change clothes; therefore, just changing clothes is a user who becomes anonymous in the crowd.

'An individual's fashion characteristics may only last a day or even for a single night,' said Nelakuditi.

In experiments with 15 volunteers, the accuracy of identifying people through InSight technology's costumes running on Google Glass reached 93%.

The InSight development team said the technology is useful for people who want to attract the attention of others, such as job seekers at job fairs, where their personal information is available. , including experience, ability, qualifications . will be easily seen by employers when they see them.

In addition, InSight technology also helps patients with neurological disorders that make them unable to remember the faces of others, who can easily identify acquaintances.
