Now we know who the
real John Travolta is... :o)
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/01/28/hundred_percent_face_recognition_claim/>Hi,
> I think the software comes from the US, it sounds like the same stuff that John is implementing at the MPD. I suppose you will have to cross Memphis off your places to visit, as well as Australia or possibly just move to Canada. <vbg>
>
>The system just runs off an off the shelf laptop, nothing special.

>>>Hi,
>>>You are wrong, the current recognition technology can identify all occupants in each car on a six lane highway in realtime, as well as do a registration check, vehicle color check, and make and model of the vechicle, and it runs on a laptop.
>>>
>>>I saw it tested a few years ago over here, they had to shut it down after a couple of minutes as it had identified a couple of hundred violations and there wasn't sufficient resources present to process the infringments.
>>>
>>
>>Identified all six occupants in a moving vehicle. Wow. Amazing they could even see all six. Must have and incredible photometric database with some awesome processing power. I know some of the MI-5 folks who process CCTV feeds in London. They'd love to get their hands on something this good.
>>
>>But aren't you worried? I mean, that sounds a lot more intrusive than fingerprints. You must be terrified. I don't think I want to go to
>>Australia and be subjected to that kind of Big Brother surveillance <s>
>>

>>>
>>>>>Hi,
>>>>> It is a basic concept that many people have difficulty addressing, but then again, we are all treated equally these days, equally guilty.
>>>>>
>>>>> The fact is this, if I haven't done anything wrong I don't have to give the authorities anything, if you do something wrong you give up that right or is going to your country to visit a bad thing and warrants such action.
>>>>>
>>>>> With present day technology, the passport can still do the job as it always has, and with current facial recognition systems that have been implemented they need no more.
>>>>>
>>>>
>>>>Current facial recognition systems are as reliable as hiring a medium to get clues from the afterlife.
>>>>
>>>>DNA is accurate.
