Facebook, on the other hand, can do it at 97%. But let me paint a picture why that is. The fact that FBI can be that accurate is still quite impressive, but the reason Facebook&#8217;s is way better is because of their funding, the lifeblood of Facebook is CIA. FBI is like the police. They only enforce laws. CIA, however, don&#8217;t follow any laws and that&#8217;s why they seem to be more innovative, at the cost of invading billions of people&#8217;s privacy. CIA creates the weapons and tools, FBI uses them. CIA is Whistler, FBI is Blade. It&#8217;s a need-to-know basis.<\/p>\n<p>The impressive thing will be which one&#8217;s algorithm can pick out a face from low-resolution images. Facebook has the advantage only because the samples are high-resolution. But FBI&#8217;s might have the edge and is more useful because it can detect faces from low-resolution. So, it&#8217;s a matter of what purpose it&#8217;s used for. One is actually smarter than the other. If FBI&#8217;s facial software can detect a face out of finite amount of pixels that don&#8217;t resemble a face, then I&#8217;d say FBI&#8217;s software is actually better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/fbi-billion-dollar-facial-recognition-091500415.html By Chongchen Saelee According to this article, FBI can match faces at 85% accuracy.
