MyHeritage Introduces PhotoDater™

 Just received from MyHeritage!

Great news: date estimation for historical photos is finally here, and is available exclusively on MyHeritage! I’m delighted to announce the release of PhotoDater™, a groundbreaking, free new feature that estimates the year a photo was taken using AI technology.

 

PhotoDater™ uses an AI model developed by MyHeritage that is trained to understand nuances such as clothing, hairstyles, facial hair, and other objects that are characteristic of a particular decade. It then calculates the estimated year the photo was taken, together with a confidence level and average error range.

 

You can read all about PhotoDater™ on our blog.

Introducing PhotoDater

Now, I know what you may be thinking: why would I rely on guesswork? For undated photos with no other leads, PhotoDater™ can help you unlock further clues about who appears in the photo and the event at which it was taken, to solve mysteries in your genealogy research.

 

We’re excited to present this feature to the community and look forward to hearing your feedback!

 

Enjoy,
