Robocop next.
Thats a joke not a prediction btw, I'd better not predict anything else now, not after how eerily accurate the DIF prediction post was, lol.
Robocop becomes reality
ALICANTE–The cyborg facial recognition of Robocop becomes a reality as Spain’s Ex-Sight technology equips police officers with the ability to scan 100,000 faces per second. They can then cross these images with whose in a database and, in moments, identify suspects.
The first widespread implementation of this technology is with the Brazilian police getting ready for the next World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics. ”The military police have a database of suspicious people they connect with our software, and our software runs inside the control center in every stadium,” says Elazar Lozano Vidal, of Ex-Sight Spain. There are cameras at each entrance of the sports stadiums. “The police have also cameras in the glasses, one of the lens is a screen and (the other) has a camera in the glass.”
Lozano says these Ex-Eye facial recognition glasses are used to scan every person that goes in front of these cameras, up to 100,000 faces a second, and that one well-situated police officer is enough to detect a crowd on a street.
The officer “moves his face and with the glasses detects a lot of people, and sends these faces by Internet to the central control of the stadium,” Lozano says. “Then, if someone is detected in the system (as) suspicious, the computer detects that person” and the force is notified. The static cameras placed at the entrances can do the same.
The Activex database then compares the new photograph of the “suspicious person” with the face that’s in the police database. Lozano says this is beneficial because the database photo may be more than a year old and have complicated-for-the-naked-eye-to-spot differences like a beard or glasses. He says there is a 98-percent effectiveness in the facial recognition comparisons.
Both photos can be then texted to the officers in the area, and the individuals will be kept from entering the stadium, along with other possible repercussions.
