"How do they look" image service

When reunions come around, many folks are eager to see how their old classmates look. Advance notice of the attractiveness or age-related dissolution of given individuals would help in planning reunion related events. However, many classmates do not submit current photos in advance. Whether through bashfulness, cowardliness, or hatred of their classmates, this selfish behavior serves no-one. With the "How do they look" (HDTL) image service, the power of the web can be used to find recent photos of old classmates.

First, images from the yearbook are scanned in. Then, searches using the Google Image server and similar servers are done using appropriate keywords - first names, last names, star signs, high school activities, etc.

Among images discovered, automatic image recognition analysis is used to find the one most similar to the yearbook photo, and this is then established to be the current updated phooto and labeled appropriately. No more "picture not provided" lameness - now it is a picture for everybody. Order and goodness reign!
