see any one you know ?

See how far digital technology has gone.


Every face can be seen.


Face Recognition in a Crowd....You cannot hide in a crowd anymore.





Do you think that this will make the perpetrators think a bit before starting riots??


Or maybe they don't think - that is the point.






This is the crowd before the riot in Vancouver.



Put your cursor anywhere in the crowd and double-click a couple of time and then use the scroll button in the center of your mouse.



You can zero in on one single face. The clarity is unbelievable.






This is the photo taken by Port Moody photographer Ronnie Miranda that appeared



in Tri-City News on 24-June.




This is actually scary. You can see - perfectly - the faces of every single individual


- and there were thousands!






Privacy? Just think what the police and the military have at their disposal.

That is cool. I did not know you could do that on a scale that large. From the sounds of it, that was not a standard issue surveillance camera.

If you're rioting anyway, may as well don a skimask to confound the pigs' spy cameras.

If your rioting properly you shoot the cameras, find the central location and burn it.

Very cool indeed.
7-11's need this level of detail on their security cameras to help apprehend the flash-mobbers.

There is definitely some photoshop trickery going on with that.
There are way too many people whose faces you can see clearly in a picture perfect set of layers with essentially everyone facing the camera.
Just zoom out just a little but and it's obvious.
Edit: Just call me Captain Obvious.

I went to the extreme areas and tried this and many faces were blurry to the point of non-recognition. hair was a clue to man vs woman but not as all-encompassing as you feared.

If you really want fearful surveillance, knock on the NRO's door.
