And not just iOS. I am white, my wife black. Picasa has similar problems with finding black faces, although it is pretty good at recognition once it has found them. To be fair, it has got a lot better, but it is still not as good on black faces as white. A lot depends on the contrast in the picture, of course, albinos might be tricky also.

In fairness, can you imagine how complex the coding would have to be in order for any program to recognize him? Granted, it’s amazing that any software (that’s literally a bunch of 1s & 0s or offs & ons), to somehow get the combination of things strait to be able to detect what is a face, instead of a car or other objects.

Funny thing though, I was able to get some facial recognition software to recognize the face of my GFs cat stuck in a piece of bread… lol
