Analyzing (All of) Star Trek With Face Recognition 140
An anonymous reader writes "Accurate face recognition is coming. Pittsburgh Pattern Recognition, a face recognition start-up spun out from Carnegie Mellon University, has posted a tech demo showing an analysis of the entire original Star Trek series using face recognition. The online visualization includes various annotated clips of the series with clickable thumbnails of each character's appearance. They also have a separate page showing the full data of all the prominent characters in every episode including extracting thumbnails of each appearance." Their software can recognize frontal or near-frontal face instances.

I'm not even supposed to be here. I'm just "Crewman Number Six." I'm expendable. I'm the guy in the episode who dies to prove how serious the situation is. I've gotta get outta here.

I had to read that twice to fully understand that you may have meant "definitely." Or perhaps, you do think it's defiantly quite impressive. God, that's even hard to type.

Crewman Expendable. The officers very, very rarely died. And when they did they came back to life later.
