China unveils 500 megapixel camera that can identify every face in a crowd of tens of thosands



26 September 2019 • 5:48pm

Chinese scientists have developed a 500 megapixel facial recognition camera four times more detailed than the human eye that can identify individuals from crowds of tens of thousands in streets or at sports stadiums.

The development raises further civil liberty concerns about the rapidly advancing surveillance technology linked with artificial intelligence.

Dubbed the 'super camera', the technology was unveiled by researchers at China's International Industry Fair last week.

China currently has an estimated 200 million CCTV cameras watching over its citizens. For the past few years the country has been building a social credit system that will generate a score for each citizen based upon data about their lives, such as their credit score, whether they donate to charity, and their parenting ability.

Punishments and rewards that citizens will receive based upon their score include access to better schools and universities and restricted travel.

The current CCTV network is a central tool in gathering data about its citizens, but the cameras aren’t always powerful enough to take a clear picture of someone’s face in a crowd. The new 500 megapixel, or 500 million pixel, camera will help to remedy this.

The camera’s artificial intelligence will be able to scan a crowd and identify an individual within seconds. Samantha Hoffman, an analyst at the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, told the ABC that the government has massive databases of people’s images and that data generated from surveillance video can be "fed into a pool of data that, combined with AI processing, can generate tools for social control, including tools linked to the Social Credit System".

In the UK, the Home Office has been trialing facial recognition technology despite opposition from campaign groups and police forces themselves.

South Wales police announced this summer that they would trial real time facial recognition technology and this month the practice was ruled lawful by the High Court.

The Metropolitan Police also admitted recently that they had supplied King’s Cross estate - an area of offices and shops - with images to enable facial recognition.

Sounds scary until you remember that in China there's always factory smog drifting into the city, obscuring visibility, so the camera would have to be pretty close to be useful, and it would need to be cleaned of chemical residue regularly. Not to mention SARS masks cutting down the usable scan area ;D

”Sounds scary”

Yeah, but I don’t think anyone wants the terrorists to win. With this camera they can identify known terrorists in a crowd.

They could even identify known pedos and see if they are close to a child or not.

Perhaps the camera could even set off an alarm and then a drone is automatically launched with the coordinates and then it locks on target and takes it out.

500 mega pixels is nothing. China is a bit behind.

Someone else has made a super lens for a 3,200-megapixel camera!

While China may see faces with their camera, the people who made this camera will see galaxies and shit.


World’s largest optical lens shipped to SLAC

When the world’s newest telescope starts imaging the southern sky in 2023, it will take photos using optical assemblies designed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers and built by Lab industrial partners.

A key feature of the camera’s optical assemblies for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), under construction in northern Chile, will be its three lenses, one of which at 1.57 meters (5.1 feet) in diameter is believed to be the world’s largest high-performance optical lens ever fabricated.

The lens assembly, which includes the lens dubbed L-1, and its smaller companion lens (L-2), at 1.2 meters in diameter, was built over the past five years by Boulder, Colorado-based Ball Aerospace and its subcontractor, Tucson-based Arizona Optical Systems.

Mounted together in a carbon fiber structure, the two lenses were shipped from Tucson, arriving intact after a 17-hour truck journey at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park.

SLAC is managing the overall design and fabrication, as well as the subcomponent integration and final assembly of LSST’s $168 million, 3,200-megapixel digital camera, which is more than 90 percent complete and due to be finished by early 2021. In addition to SLAC and LLNL, the team building the camera includes an international collaboration of universities and labs, including the Paris-based Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and Brookhaven National Laboratory.

nuttin scary about it. unleash on cockroach rioters in hk asap.

btw, mass surveillance france and britain also begun.

and we all know usa started this first. they have satelittes that pinpoint u to exact location of 1 meter. trump himself showed these pics, which everyone already knew existed btw. see will smith enemy of the state.

The UK and china working together on gestapo surveillance tools. How fitting.
