Riya – Facial Recognition

Riya looks like it will be a killer, killer application for digital image management.  What is it?  A facial recognition system for your pictures that lets you tag things (people, place etc) and it seems to learn based on what you input so you can get a very serious read on who and what is in your pics.

Since I was not exactly diligent in tagging my roughly 6000 (and growing) photos since purchasing my first digital camera pre-2000, I’ve got quite a bit of work to do if I want to find anything that’s lurking within.  Riya looks like it could be the answer. 

What I really like (having yet to test it) is that it looks like you can import photos and info from MANY sources so you can maximize the tag value.  I’ve already emailed and gotten a reply (nice!) that iPhoto support is on the list…
