Using computers equipped with video cameras,
Professor Jim Davis and his team are developing
a system that uses human recognition principles
to detect abnormalities in typical visual patterns.
This new technology allows the camera's to
"see" trouble and send out alerts to security
personnel. The cameras can be operated
remotely and over the internet.

4 months ago It is absolutely misleading to say that these systems are not concerned with identity. That assertion is socially irresponsible. -
iMix 3 months agoThose were Prof. Davis' words. It's up to the viewer to evaluate it and it sounds like you have. The "systems" refers to the camera and computer set up. They only track, analyze, and interpret "behaviors" or "types of movements." They have no idea who those people are. They don't zoom in to see I.D. tags, etc. They (at least the computers in this story) have no way of remembering people so they would have no way of "tracking" the same person. That said...it's spooky stuff...but so is the tracking of info through your iPhone and the internet. Thanks for your comments and keeping the dialogue going. I'm not a fan of surveillance...but I really like Prof. Davis and the health alert uses of this technology.
