Johnny English "Face Program"


Question Posted Saturday February 2 2008, 4:52 am

On The movie: Johnny English, he gives this guy information about a "guy"'s facial features and a man shows it on the computer, is there an actual program that can do that? And one that i can download??

Thanks so much in advance.

That technology does exist, but at present it is very undeveloped. I can't remember the exact role it played in Johnny English, but I'm assuming it was something like a photofit.

The police do use technology like that to make pictures of criminals (wait! I just remembered the plot! God I'm good), but often they have people hand-draw the images. The technology just isn't good enough yet. There's certainly none commercially available and most likely won't be for a good while yet.

There is another sort of technology that's quite similar, and is progressing faster: facial recognition techonolgy. FRT allows faces to be identified by looking at specific points on them. It's developing far faster and may well become a major part of life in the future.
