Smile! Air Force Wants to Track You Forever With a Single Camera Click - Polidicks

[quote=Wired] [img]http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/dangerroom/2011/05/photon-x-faces-660x445.jpg[/img] Don’t bother with the iris scanner or the fingerprinting machine. Leave the satellite-enabled locators and tell-tale scents back on the base, military manhunters. If an Air Force plan works out as planned, all you’ll need to track your prey is a single camera, snapping a few seconds of footage from far, far away. Huntsville, Alabama’s Photon-X, Inc. recently received an Air Force contract to develop such a camera. With one snap, the company claims, its sensor can build a three-dimensional image of a person’s face: the cornerstone of a distinctive “bio-signature” that can be used to track that person anywhere. With a few frames more, the device can capture that face’s unique facial muscle motions, and turn those movements into a “behaviormetric” profile that’s even more accurate. “The proposed work will help identify non-cooperative dismounts using remote sensors, from standoff distances that were previously impossible,” reports Toyon Research Corporation, which also got an Air Force grant for bio-signature development. “This identity information can help intelligence analysts connect specific people to events and locations, and learn about insurgent operations.” But the combo won’t just help flesh-and-blood airmen keep tabs on their fellow humans, Photon-X adds. It “can help Humanoid Robots navigate and find objects in a cluttered room.” And it could be used to monitor suspicious behavior practically anywhere. “A brief list of potential industries includes law enforcement, banking, private corporations, schools and universities, casinos, theme parks, retail, and hospitality.” So the next time you’re at the Bellagio, and a real-life android walks up to you, calls you by name, and asks about what you thought was an extremely private evening — you can thank the Air Force and its tech-enabled manhunters for the experience.

They should use the three dimension thing to make more citizens in Half Life 2.

[QUOTE=qwerty000;29947397]I think he wants valve to photo random people with this[/QUOTE] No, not random people, I mean it would take less time and effort to make a citizen face from a face actor, thus resulting in more citizen faces. This way, Europe isn't populated by the same ten people repeated over and over.

[QUOTE=Ardosos;29947379]I don't see how this wouldn't be useful for 3d modeling.[/QUOTE] It's not three dimensional the way you think it is.

Why do I get the feeling this won't end well.

Looks like it uses your face to track you. Solution? Cut your face off and replace it with someone else's fae via plastic surgery. :v: [QUOTE=Ardosos;29947243]They should use the three dimension thing to make more citizens in Half Life 2.[/QUOTE] wat

I don't see how this tracks people, it's just makes a 3D model of their face and identifies them, just makes it easier to know who is who in security camera footage.

[img]http://brownpaperbags.org/wp-content/uploads/brown-paper-bags.jpg[/img] [editline]22nd May 2011[/editline] Of course, on public you will bring up attention and local police would possibly question you, but in less populated areas, this would be completely sufficient to cover your ass.

Imagine if the dude was flipping off the camera when they took the picture

Funny how when I brought up privacy issues with that mind reading shit I get laughed at because there's no possible way that anybody would want to spy on anybody and everybody
