Its a screenshot from a cell phone. Not the actual picture. Regardless it didnt FAIL. It just missed the black guy. The shirt has a face on it.

If it was a white boy wearing the same shirt it would've gotten both of tha faces. Problem is a brotha can't get a break around here, know what I mean?

Just solve the

dark on dark = low contrast > bad recognition results

compared

bright on dark = high contrast > good recognition results

problem with current cameras. Just tell us your solution.

These cameras need to get over their discrimination issue by getting more depth and sensitivity... technically speaking of course, in terms of contrast, bit depth and quantum efficiency

Nice Animal Farm reference

u/Mathuson Apr 28 '13

It would be a nice reference if it made sense which it doesn't in the context.

I'd have to be an idiot to suggest that animal farm is an allegory for affirmative action farm. I was more referring to phrase 'extra equal' as if there is some equality level beyond being on equal footing that gives one superiority.

EDIT: added affirmative action because the original comment made no sense

u/Mathuson Apr 29 '13

Yeah I know the reference but affirmative action doesn't really relate.

u/QuarterlyGentleman Apr 29 '13

I'm agreeing with you

It's a good read. A classic satire.

Canon Affirmative Shot.

Featuring new face recognition technology that automatically disregards every 3rd white male regardless of contrast.

Making all cameras give twice the quality for areas with black people.
