The weekend was spent fiddling with the newly bought Sony Ericsson Cybershot. My dad and bro had gone to buy it, so I wasn't exactly aware of the features it was imparted with.
Zoom is an obvious feature and I used it for the first time, to get the snap of my pet crow.
Any doubts , as to how I get to identify my crow among many, should be ummediately scrapped off.
One of the unique feature available is 'Smile detector'(okay, its a year old technology)
This is the first smile it detected.
Since I decided to declare myself jobless on the Sunday afternoon and devote all my time to the newly added member of our family, thus followed some silly observations.
After a few pathetic search results, Google did deliver some read-worthy stuffs.
1)Smiles may involve up to 7 different pairs of facial muscles.
2)Its mainly the Zygomatic Major which plays the major role in one's smile.
3)The main role in a smile detector is played by the dataset. A huge number of smiling images under different conditions such as variable age, outdoor or indoor etc are loaded in the chips. The system just compares and clicks !
4)But the fallacy with this system lies in the fact that it takes white (or yellow) teeth as the only parameter of smile( thats what my practical handlings have revealed) . So no matter whether you smile or show out your teeth in disgust, with your eyebrows up raised , you will have your photo clicked.

i'll surely find a subject to perform the experiment and let you know, though i think this not-so-intelligent system will hardly register the difference
