Reuters Is Watching 
By: Jordan McCollum 2007-09-20 Reuters has announced a facial-recognition video search program this week. In conjunction with Viewdle, facial recognition software, Reuters will index its videos so that readers can search its news footage for individuals. Reuters video search results currently appear in a box at the right of the Reuters SERPs: 
The Face Search feature, currently housed at Reuters Labs, gives a vastly different result page: 
The text listings here are less illustrative than the screencaps used in the standard interface. However, the results are doubtlessly more thorough. For the face search, Viewdle takes the video frame-by-frame for complete analysis. Handily, these results return the clips cued to the exact time that the individual first appears. MediaPost reports that the feature will be integrated into the new site after an evaluation of user statistics and feedback.
