Do you want to Know Your Best Photos? Now Google can do it for You

Do you want to Know Your Best Photos? Now Google can do it for You.  

Organizing your photos is a headache for most of them. But do people actually geo-tag their pictures, face-detect their friends or even select the best photos from a random trip they undertook recently? It's pretty clear that Google knows us better than anyone else.

A couple of days back, it brought out a new feature in their "google photos" app that automates a lot of organization tasks in your albums that users wished had time to do it themselves. Automation tools are targeted at people who've just come back from a recent vacation or maybe even a family function, a picnic etc. Once you upload your snaps, Google automatically suggests a new album of what it thinks are the best images of your outing. It then adds locations to show how far you traveled. You can also add text captions which existed before, and then share it with your friends, family members etc. Not all of them may be new.

Picasa, the predecessor of Google Photos will be shut down soon. Google has put in a lot of efforts, thoughts to automate its new tools, by machine learning. Google now relies on their database for landmarks, and matches your photos to the location you stood up at the exact moment you took a photo.

Starting 22nd march, Google will automatically suggest an album for you because they thing its not always easy to recall your recent tasks. A statement from Google read "users however can create albums themselves and collaborate that to others so even your friends can add their photos. You can customize your album with mapping it with pinpointing a location and even add a catchy caption to it and it's done."

According to a source, they've been informed that Google's machines can recognize up to 255,000 landmarks with a combination of both computer vision and geotags. They also claimed they'd still be able to recognize without geo-tags. For face detection, Google can recognize a person if he/she's important to the users based on how often they've appeared in photos. However, this feature's privatized and will not be tried on social media profiles or people who've been photographed.

The recent update is scheduled to take time to reach all devices.
