I think the developer wants to make the use of video surveillance ubiquitous like in England, which will make our life more calm but less private.
but with the problem of privacy violations, England have developed some features like the surveillance system will automatically censor a room if it will be hit by the camera. I think the faceter will be opposite since its goal is to be more precise in surveillance.
Well, faceter is like an automatic app/system that will reveal the identity of a person that was captures by the camera. This project is really worth something to support with due to it gives us a direct answer about the data of the person.
I am just wondering if faceter will not invading our privacy if ever we are recorded in that cctv even if we didn't do anything. So maybe there will be a possibility that they will know all our details.
Facial features and basic information of a person must be stored first in the database in order to be recognized by this automated system. So that when the camera recognizes a person's face, it will automatically retrieve the information of that said person. Meanwhile, if the person is not recognized, the system will alert the company/officer that someone in their premise is not recognized by system. He may be an unregistered person, an intruder, or a trespasser.
The person already exists in the database. If you are going abroad, I'm sure that information about you is enough. Therefore, such cameras will be based on those people who are already in the database, and those who do not, will be added.
