Malmö, Sweden-based Polar Rose just wrote in to tell us it has received $5.1 million in Series A funding from Nordic Venture Partners. The company promises it will offer facial recognition for all photos on the web, what Riya was doing before it changed course to the more forgiving task of fashion recognition. Apparently Polar Rose goes beyond facial recognition, and includes 3D modeling, but a beta won’t be out till next year.
