Facebook has become one of the important parts in everyone’s life. Almost every people you can find on this social network. People love to share photos with friends, and each time you upload pictures, a software for Facebook detects persons’ faces in that particular image. But, what if there are some people with obscured or hidden faces? It was hard till now to detect those people, but now it is no more a problem as the California based social networking giant’s Artificial Intelligence Team has developed a new algorithm (an AI tool) which is able to spot people that are not looking at the camera or their faces are hidden.
This tool recognizes the obscured faces by tracking the unique physical traits of humans like clothing, hairdo, body shape, and pose. This new AI tool is using the same algorithm what human being uses to recognize persons.

This algorithm has got the name PIPER (Pose Invariant PErson Recognition). Intelligent minds behind this technology are researchers from University of Berkeley led by Ning Zhang alongside Yaniv Taigman and researchers from Facebook's AI lab. So, identify faces of humans, even they are positioned upside down, behind, and side. Facebook claimed 83% of accuracy in identifying individuals in photos with obscured faces.
About 40,000 of photos have been picked from Flickr which was loaded with around 63,000 images of around 2,350 people. Half of images were showing with full faces, others were with un-clear faces. And, PIPER has got the success in recognizing faces with 83 percent accuracy as aforementioned. Well, saying it privacy-concerned is hard as it puts the privacy on redline by detecting people whose pictures are captured unknowingly or mistakenly in a photo.
