Many cameras today can detect the faces of those being photographed, which is handy for guiding the camera to set its exposure, focus, and color balance properly. But the more difficult challenge of face recognition is more useful after the photo has been taken.
That's because of a concept called autotagging, one of a number of technologies that make digital photography qualitatively different from the film photography of the past.
Tags of descriptive data can be attached to digital photos, and they help people find and organize pictures. The only problem is that tagging your photos, today a laborious manual task, is like eating your vegetables. It's good for you but a lot of people don't like it.
....
That level of sophistication is beyond a camera's abilities today, requiring a full-fledged computer run by people with Ph.D. degrees. But particularly given that Sony already has introduced a camera with smile detection, it's not hard to imagine a day when your photos could also some day be tagged "delighted" or "disgusted," too.
