Police are using facial recognition software in the hunt for the abducted girl Madeleine McCann.

This software is interesting because it can rapidly scan photos for faces, then correlate differences in nodal points on these faces against stored faces of known paedophiles.
I find this interesting because humans remember people's faces in a similar way. Rather than remember individual faces, we remember how peoples' faces differ from the standard face we have stored in our brain. This constant scanning for faces by our brains also leads us to see found faces in objects.
Lets hope that this latest line of enquiry is successful in helping to find Madeleine.
