Once a while, some random encounters give me new perspectives on how far alone technology has advanced. I stumbled into MyHeritage.com and had some fun playing with its face recognition tool.

First, upload your photos for scanning. In less than 30 seconds, detected human faces are highlighted from uploaded photos. They are cropped and ready for further analysis.

There are couple things you can do with your photos on My Heritage:

Look-alike Meter

Ever wonder if you are a mama’s boy or daddy’s little girl? Look-alike Meter tells it all. I’ve got both mom and dad’s facial features, but a little something more from mama.

Celebrity Look-alike

It generates a list of celebrities you might or might not agree that look like you. At best it’s cheap entertainment and ego boost. I uploaded 2 photos and one came out I’m 80% Jada Smith look-alike. The other one I was more Caucasian than Asian. I like how the process of matching for resemblance goes beyond ethnic boundaries.
