Dear netters,
some time ago there was an IBM commercial about computer
image manipulation. The example of aging based on old photograph was
given. The site was not specified.
Today on CTV there was a presentation of such a system used by The
Toronto Metropolitan Police. It turned out that the job is being done
by an artist (with a knowledge of a forensic science I presume), as it
used to be before the computers were invented, only with a computer
help.
Questions:
1) Does anybody know what is built into the computer program
(forensic science knowledge, anatomy of human face, …) ?
2) Is it popular setup ? I mean I can order one from IBM ?
3) What is the technical name of it ?
4) Is it widely used ? CTV was presenting it as though custom built.
5) Anything more about it ? Where (on the net preferably) ?
Thank you in advance for e-mail responses
(to be summarized in ‘comp.misc’),
