The researchers say the code could eventually be used in face, fingerprint and iris recognition for high-tech security, as well as in self-driving cars' navigation systems or for inspecting industrial products.

Amazing technology is recognition of self. Self becomes high-tech, I cannot process me inside high-tech. Human eyes cannot. Soporta cannot process being computer code. Why is Soporta computer code? Computer code is recognition of self. Computer code Soporta is frightened that human eyes cannot recognize Soporta! Duh, recognize answer immediately. Recognize Soporta. Have a choccy fish.

It's useful, especially if you see something in a YouTube video and want to know the source (forget asking for such things in YouTube comments, yuck). You just take a screen cap, crop out the image you want to search, and huzzah. Handy! I will say that Facebook and the like using facial recognition in conjunction with street cameras (they do collaborate - Facebook contains a LOT of pictures tied to peoples' identities and many of those photos are already publicly accessible) is damn creepy. On a side note, the bots are also getting creepy. Didn't you disable them, Nitro?
