Computers Can't Recognize These Wild Faces as Faces

                    Computer vision software has a long way to go. We know it can have trouble recognizing even the simplest of images, so it's little surprise the human face, in all its complexity, is an inevitable stumbling block.

Cool video, the software must be using simple Eigenvectors/ Eigenfaces to get a lock on the face.  Once the incoming image doesn't % match the contrast template it looses it.  (how cameras detect smiles/ blinks etc)

As for demonstrating the tricky problem with computer vision, its not a bad video just to make programmers aware of it.

But with a convnet if you train through the transformation from normal to wild, then its sure to see it, spoon feeding it. (But it could actually spoon feed itself too. by generating the warps itself.)  So it depends on the training set.

Theres a lot of problems making a computer see abstract art,  but I think its solvable,   its something im very interested in...   the bigger issue, is taking it from a toy solution, that solves a few pictures, and making it have overlapped id maps, and similarity distance from everything to everything.   All art objectified, and morphable from real to nonreal.
