  1. Facial Recognition Mi-Gyeong Gwak, Christian Vargas, Jonathan Vinson

  2. Facial Recognition • A facial recognition system is a computer application for automatically identifying or verifying a person from a digital image or a video frame from a video source. • It is typically used in security systems. www.extremetech.com

  3. How It Works • Detect and isolate human faces captured by the camera • Analyze them using an algorithm that extracts identifying features • “Nodal points" creativentechno.wordpress.com

  4. How the Professionals Thinks About • Larry Strickling, the administrator of NTIA • "Facial recognition technology has the potential to improve services for consumers… However, the technology poses distinct consumer privacy challenges…" • The Federal Trade Commission • "Facial recognition technology has been adopted in a variety of new contexts… Its increased use has raised a variety of privacy concerns.”

  5. Federal Law • NO federal law explicitly addresses the collection and storage of faceprints. • However, some states have dealt with the issue in their legislatures. theduncanlawfirm.blogspot.com

  6. The Privacy Act of 1974 • It governs collection, maintenance, and storage of records on individuals in the United States. • “Record” - include any item, collection or grouping of information about an individual that is maintained by an agency...and that contains his name, or the identifying number, symbol, or other identifying particular assigned to the individual.

  7. The Stored Communication Act • Electronic communications services • - "any transfer of signs, signals, writing, images, sounds....“ • Remote computing services • How about videos?

  8. The Fourth Amendment www.daytondui.com

  9. Advantages • What is facial recognition good for: • Surveillance or tracking • Automation in security systems • It generally faster than other forms of security

  10. Disadvantages • What are the down sides to this technology • Users may feel that this technology is a breach of their privacy • will be more errors that will arise with this type of technology • this type of technology is more expensive

  11. What are some Current uses? • Security • Image Database investigations • General identity verification • Surveillance

  12. Two Examples of these uses: • Facebook • Facial recognition is used for photo tagging and suggestions of who is in a picture • TSA/Law Enforcement Agencies • In airports for country entrance and for searching and tracking people that might be involve in criminal activities

  13. Future of Facial Recognition • Department Stores • Police Departments • Secure Buildings • Streets • Mobile Devices • ..Everywhere

  14. Mobilizing Facial Recognition • Google Glass • Smart Watches • Smart Phones • Wearable Tech

  15. Big Data • Social Media • Cloud Computing

  16. Big Data & Social Media • “So essentially, we can start from an anonymous face, offline or online, and we can use facial recognition to give a name to that anonymous face thanks to social media data. But a few years back, we did something else. We started from social media data, we combined it statistically with data from U.S. government social security, and we ended up predicting social security numbers, which in the United States are extremely sensitive information.” - Alessandro Acquisti

  17. Current Tech. • In one experiment, Acquisti's team identified individuals on a popular online dating site where members protect their privacy through pseudonyms. • In a second experiment, they identified students walking on campus — based on their profile photos on Facebook. • In a third, the team predicted personal interests and, in some cases, even the Social Security numbers of the students, beginning with only a photo of their faces.

  18. Future Apps • Targeted advertizing in stores • Real-world data mining • Criminal identification

  19. Legal Concerns • Information such as click streams, likes, dislikes, and shopping history are not legally prevented from being sold.

  20. Opt In or Opt Out? • Opt out by sending personal information and a head-shot to a company in order to be placed on a “do not identify” list. • Opt in by shopping at stores or locations that inform their customers that facial recognition is used in their facilities

  21. Does Privacy Matter? • "Ultimately, all this access is going to force us to reconsider our notions of privacy. It may also affect how we interact with each other" - Alessandro Acquisti
