一个新兴网站可以根据上传照片自动检测你的年龄,昨天刚上线就已经如病毒式的火起来了。
How Old, which gathered 35,000 users in a matter of hours, allows people to upload photos of themselves or their friends, and then analyses their facial structure to determine how old the person might be - with varied results.
网站“你多大”几小时就聚集了3万5000名用户,它允许人们上传自己或是朋友的照片,然后网站会分析他们的脸部结构,从而判断那个人大概几岁——结果是多样的。
We put the software to the test, with volunteers of all ages and genders, and while there were a few glaring inconsistencies, we were all surprised by how often it calculated the right age within a three-year error margin.
我们找了不同年龄和性别的志愿者用这个软件进行测试,虽然有些明显的矛盾,但是我们都很惊讶——它算出来的正确年龄只有3岁范围的误差。
According to Microsoft, who came up with the concept, the system works by analysing 27 points on the face.
根据提出这个概念的微软称,该系统的工作原理是分析了脸部的27个“点”。
These 'landmarks' are a series of specifically detailed points on a face; features including the pupils, canthus or nose - which change gradually as we age.
这些“点”是脸上很特殊的细节;突出包括瞳孔、眼角或是鼻子——这些随着你年龄的变化而改变。
