That video that we showed you yesterday
(video not posted by me as i do not want brown people to play the race card on my blog)made it appear that the HP MediaSmart PC with facial recognition doesn't work with black people. HP responded to that assertion, blaming bad lighting for the PC's inability to follow the face of that cool guy who demonstrated it so aptly in the video:
The technology we use is built on standard algorithms that measure the difference in intensity of contrast between the eyes and the upper cheek and nose. We believe that the camera might have difficulty "seeing" contrast in conditions where there is insufficient foreground lighting.
Indeed, it's a tall order to achieve the proper exposure on the face of a dark-skinned person while surrounded by intense backlighting — in this case, the bright fluorescent fixtures clearly visible in the background. However, in the screen cap we grabbed above, the exposure on the man's face is adequate, yet the face tracking still wasn't functioning. We think HP needs to rebuild its "standard algorithms."
(my view)-i agree with this comments on the website that this article is from"Are you freaking kidding me? Man, some people will look for racism anywhere. Yeah, I'm sure they have a corporate policy not to have facial recognition for black people-
Give it up, DVICE. Leave HP alone. Stupid"....another one....."Sorry Matthias: but there were a number of instances where the glare on Wanda's face was WAY brighter than her eyes and it was still able to follow her. Even when her eyes were just about all dark on screen it was still able to follow her".....another thing he forgot to meantion.....he can turn to tracking on and off while recording.......i BET theres someone or they are pressing the button to turn it on and off........he's racist.......fucking stop it

Well at least they didn't say sorry we're idiots over here and never thought a black person was going to use our stuff. It is common sense not a race thing. The only apology they should have giving him was, Sorry your too stupid to use our camera and make yourself look even more uneducated by turning it into a race issue.
