Organizing Photographs

Just came back from vacation, so I guess I'm trying to catch up with a few things. One news release that caught my attention was about Google's acquisition of Neven Vision. In its own weblog, Google says:

Neven Vision comes to Google with deep technology and expertise around automatically extracting information from a photo. It could be as simple as detecting whether or not a photo contains a person, or, one day, as complex as recognizing people, places, and objects.

More details about what Neven Vision is doing can be found there.
