People like to admire themselves. Tell your friend that he reminds you of a famous actor and the conversation can last more than one hour. Once upon a time people clearly see such coincidences, and sometimes not. But now they can prove their case with the help of special applications. They compare photos of any person with portraits of celebrities and determine who they look like..
Let's consider several services and mobile applications that use face recognition technology. We found both online services and iPhone applications. Unfortunately, there are no decent applications for this purpose in the Google Play Store. For a more accurate result, it is recommended that you upload a clear image according to your file size and format requirements.
StarByFace
StarByFace lets you find out which celebrities are similar to you simply by uploading your photo. The site has a dedicated download window. You can also add an image by url. Make sure the photo is clear and you can easily make out the face. There should only be one person in the photo. This is important to get the most accurate results possible..
After you upload your photo, the site will analyze the main face shapes. Then it will process the results and compare with the stars that are in its database. Then you get the result. You can see the percentage of how much the actor looks like you. The result can be shared on social networks.
Celebs like me
Celebs Like Me also requires you to upload a photo. For this there is a special field for uploading a file. If this is not possible, you can take a picture online using the camera on your device, including the one built into your smartphone. Uploading via URL is also supported. The result will be shown almost instantly. An advanced search is also available, in which you can crop a face in a photo to get a more accurate result..
Who do i look like
The Who Do I Look Like app uses Amazon's machine learning algorithm for more accurate recognition. Now you can compare your selfies with the portraits of over 1,000 celebrities. The portraits are sorted into numerous categories, allowing you to better define who exactly you look like.
The application is completely free to use. The developers are constantly working on faster searches, more accurate match detection and expanding the portrait database.
If you've been wondering all your life if you really are like Michael Jackson, now is the time to define that. For the search, the algorithm analyzes the main features of the user's face, the color of the eyes and hair, the shape of the ears, and a number of other parameters. With such a program, you can have great fun with your friends. Sometimes, you can get completely unexpected results.
Pictriev
Pictriev is another portal that allows you to find your twin among the stars. The program analyzes the user's face and searches for a similar person in its database. To work, you also need to upload your photo. After you upload a photo, the site will analyze the face and indicate the gender and approximate age of the person in the photo. All similar celebrities will be shown below.
It is best to insert photos where the face is clearly visible, because the accuracy of the search depends on the quality of the image. You can also upload your photo by entering the URL. Image size must be no more than 200KB in JPG format.
LookALike
In fact, many people are alike. Some people have such a specific look that when they apply makeup, they start to look like they look like celebrity look-alikes. Recently, a video blogger posted a video on YouTube in which she dressed and made up like Ariana Grande. The girl even copied the singer's gait and in this form walked the streets of Los Angeles. A lot of people really thought it was Ariana.
If you want to try something like this, use the LookALike app . This will determine who is the best to copy. There is also a function for comparing a photo of a person with a specific character in a movie or TV series. You can even compare yourself to anime characters. If you're going to a costume party, this can definitely be helpful. All you have to do is add your photo and wait for the search results.
Looky
In the Looky app, you first take a picture of yourself or select one from the iPhone gallery. The server then searches and displays the match results. Everything is very simple and straightforward. You can share the result on any social network such as Facebook, Twitter or iMessage. Didn't you like the result? Just try again. Perhaps things will turn out much better now. Maybe you just picked the wrong photo?
It is because of its simplicity that this application has become so popular. But keep in mind that there is only a 24-hour trial. Then you have to either stop using the application, or pay for it. Also, some users complain that there are too many ads in the application and it may show not entirely truthful results.
Cinestaan
Cinestaan is a service that allows you to find similar stars from Indian Bollywood. All you need to do is upload your photo to the portal. Image size should be 400 × 420. The advanced facial recognition technology will instantly show you suitable results. And as you can see, they are quite truthful. At least in my opinion.
To make sure that the service is not slipping the first "star" that comes across - I uploaded a photo of the forest and the service "hung". Apparently the artificial intelligence could not find a match in any way. This suggests that random results are shown.
