Madison Square Garden is located in New York City, New York and is an arena that hosts several concerts and sporting events. Since Madison Square Garden is very famous and has many spectators that come to the arena, the arena managers had decided to secretly scan their spectators with facial recognition technology. This face id is a new type of technology and is usually found in smartphones such as the iPhone X. I strongly suggest that you read more to find out exactly why the Madison Square Garden uses this technology. As you have probably read in my first paragraph you have found out that Madison Square Garden is secretly using facial recognition to scan the people who have attended their arena. Now, you might be wondering why Madison Square Garden would be using this technology, as this is what I exactly thought when I first saw this …show more content…
It turns out Madison Square Garden is using facial recognition for security reasons and to advertise some of their products. Madison Square Garden is using facial recognition for security reason by having a facial scanner scan the person’s face and it will check if they have a criminal record or not. If it turns out they do have a criminal record staff members will closely monitor the person's actions. The facial recognition scanner can also be a security camera recording the audience’s actions and makes sure that nobody steals anything. Madison Square Garden also uses secretive facial recognition scanners for advertisement. Madison Square Garden does this by tracking what the people are buying or interested in buying and then staff members would try to go to them and advertise what else they can buy. This will definitely increase the money that Madison Square Garden would normally earn as it is giving people more ideas to buy things. This facial recognition technology is very helpful for Madison Square Garden as it solves two big issues. The first issue this
Maybe it was your lucky day at the airport; and you were selected for a body scan. It is just to detect if you are carrying anything illegal into the airport—right. However, according to Kurt Nimmo, the scanners are also collecting and storing images for law enforcement. The body scanner can store not only the body but also facial and iris. Nimmo reports about how the government is starting a $1 billion effort to gather the largest biometric data base (Nimmo, 2010). The government has been collecting biometrics in efforts to identify criminals and terrorist. According to Ellen Nakashima, employers that have sent in fingerprints of employees to scan for criminal background checks can even use the digital system. It can then keep a watch out and report any minor altercations with the law (Nakashima, 2007, par. 2). It is scary to think that there can be false positives in facial recognition. However, for protection of the greater good, I am sure it must report a suspect of a potential crime. This then puts a
Now-a-day, biometric authentication system or simply biometric system, offers a reliable and user-friendly solution to the problem of identity management by establishing the identity of an individual based on “who the person is”, rather than the knowledge-based i.e. “what the person knows" or token-based i.e. “what the person carries” (Jain et al., 1999). The word biometrics is derived from the Greek words bios (meaning life) and metron (meaning measurement); biometric identifiers are measurements from living human body (Maltoni et al., 2003). Biometric system refers to automatically identify or verify an individual's identity based on his physiological characteristics (e.g. fingerprints, face, iris and hand geometry) and behavioral characteristics (e.g. gait, voice and signature) (Figure 2.1). Ancillary characteristics (also known as soft biometric) such as gender, ethnicity, age, eye color, skin color, scars and tatoos also provide some information about the identity of a person. However, soft biometric traits do not provide sufficient evidence to precisely determine the identity (Jain et al., 2004a). Biometric traits provide a unique and permanent binding between an individual and his identity. This “binding" cannot be easily lost, forgotten, shared or forged and free from making false repudiation claims. Biometrics offers several advantages over conventional security measures. These include
It is easy to think of biometrics as the future science technology are always happened in some fictions, associated with solar car and clones together. In fact, it has long history that people understood the basic principle and application of the biometric. Thousands of years ago, the people of the Nile basin used the biometric in everyday transactions (such as scarring, skin tone, eye color, height, etc.) for identification. Of course, they had no any automatic electronic identification system, or computer network, but the principle is similar.
By definition, “biometrics” (Woodward, Orlans, and Higgins, 2003) is the science of using biological properties to identify individuals; for example, fingerprints, retina scans, and voice recognition. We’ve all seen in the movies, how the heroes and the villains have used other’s fingerprints and voice patterns to get into the super, secret vault. While these ideas were fantasy many years ago, today biometrics are being used and you may not even know it.
Author Aviva Rutkin describes rising on-body camera use in the article “Smile, You’re on Camera,” published in the July 2015 issue of New Scientist. People worldwide are finding surprising uses for on-body cameras with video recording features. Uses range from security to entertainment. Interestingly, police units in the United States are pairing officers with the latest wearable cameras with U.S. Government assistance. As a result, the police force has a new layer of protection for themselves and the public, which may prevent future unrest. According to Rutkin, South Florida public workers also have on-body cameras, setting a trend to ensuring a higher level of safety. Beyond government use, these cameras are appealing to service groups and
By definition Biometrics are automated methods of recognizing a person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic (Campbell, 1995). More and more businesses are now using biometrics as a preferred measure over traditional methods involving passwords and PIN numbers for 2 reasons; The person being identified is required to be physically present at the point of identification; Identification based on biometrics techniques removes the need to remember a password or to carry other identification (Watrall, 10/14/03). The need for biometrics can be found in federal, state and local governments, in the military, and in commercial applications (Campbell, 1995). Enterprise-wide network security infrastructures, government IDs, secure electronic banking, investing and other financial transactions, retail sales, law enforcement, and health and social services are already benefiting from these technologies (Campbell, 1995).
When Maxwell Smart first whipped out his shoe phone in 1965, everyone saw an act of pure movie magic. Back in the mid to late 1900s everybody had the same idea of the future. Everyone pictured the future as talking robots (Siri), computerized pocket-sized dictionaries (smart-phones), hovering devices (drones), and much more. Today, everyone thinks of these technologies as commonalities. Most of these current devices have a valuable impact, while few create debatable issues. The company NGI has a system that will revolutionize the field of biometric facial recognition. In the article titled Embracing Big Brother: How Facial Recognition Could Help Fight Crime, author Jim Stenman says, "The mission is to reduce terrorist and criminal activity by improving and expanding biometric identification as well as criminal history information s...
I’m going to start off by stating that facial recognition has some benefits to offer for both businesses and consumers. Up until the last couple of years, this technology has been generally used by law enforcement to stop known criminals and for border control, but since then companies have shown more interest in using it for commercial uses. Companies
Biometrics is a preset method to recognize a person based on a physiological or behavioral attribute. The present features are face recognition, fingerprints, handwriting, hand geometry, iris, vein, voice and retinal scan. In the early years of the 21st century, we find ourselves persistently moving further away from the stipulation of physical human interface playing a major part of basic everyday tasks. Striding ever closer to an programmed society, we interact more habitually with mechanical agents, unsigned users and the electronic information sources of the World Wide Web, than with our human counterpart. It is therefore possibly sardonic that identity has become such an important issue in the 21st century. Face recognition has been related as the divine Grail of biometric recognition systems, due to a number of noteworthy advantages over other methods of identification.
Biometrics has really been a captivating part of watching new age movies and futuristic stars bring in the 21st century. Yet, most regular people don’t even know what is behind these alluring “tricks”, and what really classifies as a part of the Biometrics field. Something as simple as a pin number you use for an ATM machine would qualify as part of this realm. Other behavioral characteristics can be things such as a voice print, or a signature. Biometrics can also become so technologically advanced that they can use video surveillance to scan who goes in and out of an area...

Biometric technology is used for the ways humans can be identified by unique aspects of their bodies, such as fingerprints, body odor, our voices and many more. If one was to think about privacy rights, he/she would be concerned about the widespread adoption of these systems, since such systems could easily be used to develop a record of known rebellious people and/or dangerous criminals, to be used for social control purposes. Although that may seem pretty good and a positive thing for the society, one should take into account of the defects and errors of technology. Of the many biometrics technologies that are being developed and are already developed, facial recognition is one of the most threatening because it can be deployed secretly; one may not know whether or when they can be caught in a surveillance camera for such facial recognition biometrics. Additionally, tests have found that the miscalculations for facial biometrics technologies are very high. As a result, according to Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, innocent people can be erroneously identified as dangerous criminals and actual dangerous criminals and/or suspected terrorists can fail to be detected overall, allowing for a huge injustice and unfairness. Privacy rights concerned with biometrics have sparked a concern and should be dealt with; otherwise, this is just one of the
Biometrics can be used as a method of identification for accessing a computer, room, or anything where identity needs to be provided to access information or equipment. Some people resist biometrics because of the concerns in which their privacy will be invaded or they think technology is getting too intrusive on people personal lives. Biometrics is not flawless and does have some privacy related issues. There are mechanism that can be put in place which could mitigate these problems and concerns. Some biometrics may not meet due to undue resistance from potential users and may be recommended to the manager to use password-based access controls instead.
Within the battle against crime, police forces and governments are increasingly using security cameras in public places. Some people are against this, stating that it intrudes on their privacy as citizens. Though individuals have rights as citizens according to our First Amendment there is a serious need to cut down on the amount of crime commented. In this research paper I will discuss security cameras and how they play an enormous role in cracking down on law-breaking. Security cameras have become universal in many countries. Before you could only catch sight of security cameras in banks and at high-security areas, they are now entering public places such as: malls, streets, schools and airports. Most people are offended by these cameras
The purpose of biometrics is to identify a person based on the measure of his anatomical and physiological characteristics. This concept is not new, its history dates back to 14th century when Chinese used footprints to identify newborns and divorce records. In the 1880s, Henry Faulds, William Herschel and Francis Galton were the first who conceived the idea of using biometric identification to guaranty the security in civil areas, like using footprints for criminal identification and fingerprinting t...
