Desi Cryer, a youtube user, has posted a video that clearly shows a problem on the facial recognition system present on the newest HP laptops. Apparently the video shows the webcam failing to do what it’s suppose to on black people.
Facial recognition:
As per wikipedia, Facial A facial recognition system is a computer application for automatically identifying or verifying a person from a digital image or a video frame from a video source. One of the ways to do this is by comparing selected facial features from the image and a facial database.
The Demonstration:
Cryer demonstrate how his HP webcam doesn’t follow him, but seems to have no trouble following his white co-worker Wanda Zamen. We all know that this is just a software/programming issue but Cryer has started the joke that HP’s new Webcams are racists. Below you can watch the video and see whether HP’s webcam is racist or not.
hahaha. racist webcams, probably couldn’t tell the difference between a black background and a dark skinned human. tsk tsk.
