Surveillance and Panopticism: will we recognize the facial recognition society?” analyzes the effects of the use of facial recognition surveillance devices as a reaction to perceptions of “insecurity” in urban environments. Mitchell Gray views facial recognition systems as “part of an attempt to reduce insecurity through knowledge and vision, but, paradoxically, their use may add to insecurity by transforming society in unanticipated directions.” Facial recognition, he insists, will expand the disciplinary
security systems for crime prevention and investigation to commercial and private use. For example, doors that open automatically have existed for a long time. To save energy, if a smart camera is used instead of a simple motion detector, the camera can choose to open the door if a person is approaching or leave it closed if a person is just walking by the door. One of the most sophisticated tools for smart cameras is a method called facial recognition. Facial Recognition Computerized facial recognition
thirty years or so, face recognition is an active research area in computer vision and one of the most successful applications of image analysis and understanding. Different algorithms have been proposed by researchers for solving this problem and many of them are considered as the state of the art. Nowadays, the face recognition problem is not only important in the research area, but it is vital in the commercial applications. A general statement of the face recognition problem can be formulated
COMPUTER SECURITY There must be some solid personal recognition schemes for a wide variety of system either to determine or conform the identity of the people who do services. The purpose is that to ensure the provided services are accessed only by the user and no other people can do so. Some of the examples of such process includes secure access to computers, laptops, buildings, security places etc. In absence of these schemes these systems are vulnerable to misuse. Therefore biometrics is introduced
Occlusion the performance of the face recognition algorithms under occlusion is in general poor. The face may be occluded by other objects in the scene or by sunglasses or other things. Occlusion may be unintentional or intentional. Under some conditions subjects may be motivated to thwart recognition efforts by covering portions of their face. Since in many situations, the goal is to recognize none or even un-cooperating subjects. Time delay Faces change over time. There are changes in hair style
of the main disadvantages involved in the use of biometrics is its cost. Use of biometrics requires purchase of expensive and at times bulky machinery, which may require technical support for installation and maintenance. [8] Also, most biometric systems require people to be trained for use, further adding to the costs. The use of these devices also causes unnecessary delays in an individual’s schedule due to the overhead of being scanned for identification.
Biometrics is the measurement and statistical analysis of people's physical and behavioral characteristics. The technology is mainly used for identification and access control, or for identifying individuals that are under surveillance. The basic premise of biometric authentication is that everyone is unique and an individual can be identified by his or her intrinsic physical or behavioral traits. (The term "biometrics" is derived from the Greek words "bio" meaning life and "metric" meaning to measure
In recent years, vehicle thefts are most important crux in the world. At the present time, the available anti theft vehicular systems are much more expensive. Many people are installed the vehicle theft control system in their vehicle for avoiding the theft. Here, the main goal is to reduce the vehicle theft with the developing of simple and low cost control scheme. The main components of this scheme are microcontroller, one hidden camera, a GPS and one mobile. The mobile makes the communication
need to find the source of the leak to prevent it from occurring again. One of the most recent and secure ways to protect information is through the use of biometrics: which compares a user’s biometric data against the data stored in the system.5 The biometric system is designed to use the following four modules: 1. Sensor Module. The sensor module captures the biometric data from an individual. 2. Feature Extraction Module. The feature extraction module processes the biometric data to extract a feature
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
hardest to imitate and duplicate." - Avivah Litan By Jacky Mai The term biometrics is comes from the Greek words bio “life” and metrics “measurement”. Biometrics are unique physical characteristics that can be used for automated recognition, this can range from any physical feature on your body including your eyes, nose, face. In 1858, “William Herschel was working for the civil service of India, which he recorded handprints on the back of every employee to distinguish from fake employees
Face Detection and Facial Feature Extraction Based on a fusion of Knowledge Based Method and Morphological Image Processing Detecting human faces and extracting the facial features from an image is a challenging process. It is very difficult to locate faces in an image accurately. There are several variables that affect the performance of the detection methods, such as wearing glasses, skin color, gender, facial hair, and facial expressions etc. We propose an efficient method for locating a face
“I always feel like somebody’s watching me!” This is the hook from a song by Rockwell in 1984. It is twenty years later and these words still speak the truth, but have a much deeper meaning. Today you can’t make any moves in this world without someone possibly knowing what it is. In general, privacy is the right to be free from secret surveillance and to determine whether, when, how, and to whom, one's personal or organizational information is to be revealed. The development of social media outlets
accomplish various tasks. New technology is very helpful, however, this machinery is only beneficial if used for the right reasons. For example, a company by the name of NGI (Next Generation identification) has a system where they use scanners and a state-of-the-art biometric identification system, to identify anyone 's identity within seconds. Though this may sound helpful, many people can argue that this is an invasion of privacy. Technology is used to help cure diseases, accomplish tasks in fractions
The past decade has seen a proliferation of law enforcement security cameras in public areas, with central London having more cameras than any other city. In cities like New York, Los Angeles, and central London, cameras can be found at almost every intersection. Terrorist attacks have been a major basis for this significant increase in law enforcement security cameras; however, privacy advocates, along with many of the public, feel that it’s an invasion of privacy. People are concerned that all
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
method face Recognition is using to access Automated teller machines (ATMs). ATMs are used to do banking function like checking balance withdraw money, changing pin numbers etc. The ATM cards and pin numbers are used for security purpose. But this system is using SIM card in place of ATM cards. In order to improve security the system first authenticate the person if he/she is recognized then it will ask the password of the account. This system used Spartan 3 FPGA board to control the system. One buzzer
NYPD Google glasses a safety measure or a privacy breach Several evident cases of misuse of authority by Police Personnel in the past have spread distrust and rage among the masses. What might add to this fury is the introduction of Google Glasses, which are hypothesized to being used for public protection, better surveillance and enhanced Police Patrolling. The NYPD’s use of Google glasses still raises serious privacy & confidentiality violation issues since they are perceived as violating the
“Project Glass” [1]. The product has been designed to be a ubiquitous computer displays information, communicate via Internet and interact with the user by natural language voice commands that starts with “ok glass”. Google glass use Android operating system and is equiped with 12GB of usable memory storage, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, and 5 megapixel camera capable of shooting 720p videos. The device allow users to capture picture, record videos, connect to internet, upload images and videos, and
The creativity and ingenious of human beings has enabled the development of technologies that have overall, benefited all of mankind. Arguably one of the most if not the most pivotal man made technological achievement is that of the internet. The internet has allowed for the seeming less transfer of data and information in a matter of seconds. With this innovation has come an increase in communication, enhancement of understanding other cultures, and a mass gathering of data. The amount of data now
