Choose any photo from most popular list and click Find similar. Do you know any engine which is able to find photos by pencil drawing? As for me I know just the sole engine:) You can see it now at http://www.picollator.com. Choose any photo from most popular list and click Find similar.

That's not allowed. Well, the only good way to verify your claim would be by adding two different images of the same person to the index and trying to find one with the other as a query.

That wouldn't surprise me. But can it recognize faces? It sounds like Picollator is better than Google. That wouldn’t surprise me. But can it recognize faces?

Picollator engine searches for images by content and it enables to process and find group photos. Actually, Google is able to detect faces and it finds just portraits.

And yes, it's pretty good. You don’t need face recognition for that – all it takes is face _detection_. And yes, it’s pretty good.

In business terms 10 years means never. Consider this consequence: in the near future no company should even try to build a product if it would have to rely on image recognition.

This however does not say anything about if there exists a solution to the computer vision problems, and if you ask me, I believe you can get there over a decade. So, the enthusiasts should chill a bit, and restrict themselves to vision competitions like SRVC if they have something exciting to show.
