We've seen searching for "faces" in static images from Exalead, LTU, Freenet.de, Google, and others for some time. Now, Reuters Labs is online with a demo that allows you to search for people in streaming video. The technology comes from Viewdle where you can read more and see a demo.
From the blog post:
Search People in Video is powered by Viewdle, a pioneering facial recognition-based video indexing and search technology that recognizes true, real-time and contextually-relevant appearances of people on screen. Find the right person, in the right clip, at the right moment. Go ahead, search the names of the people you want to see, like "Angelina Jolie", "David Beckham" or "George Bush". Don't worry about capitalization since the name queries are not case sensitive. Total length of indexed video available in this beta: 609 hours.
