TLDR
The interplay of technical and social issues involved in the widespread application of video surveillance for person identification, including face recognition technology, are analyzed.Abstract:
Video surveillance and face recognition systems have become the subject of increased interest and controversy after the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States. In favor of face recognition technology, there is the lure of a powerful tool to aid national security. On the negative side, there are fears of an Orwellian invasion of privacy. Given the ongoing nature of the controversy, and the fact that face recognition systems represent leading edge and rapidly changing technology, face recognition technology is currently a major issue in the area of social impact of technology. We analyze the interplay of technical and social issues involved in the widespread application of video surveillance for person identification.read more

Security management process or video surveillance systems in heterogeneous communication networks
TL;DR: The interdependencies between different security process and/or the different security parameters in video surveillance systems will be analyzed while keeping in mind the heterogeneous nature of the networks in order to achieve an optimal security management process architecture.

Machine hermeneutics, postphenomenology, and facial recognition technology
TL;DR: It is argued that machine hermeneutics does not merely consist of technical excellence for the technology involved, but also ethical excellence; the two cannot be considered one apart from the other.

4D Photogeometric face recognition with time-of-flight sensors
TL;DR: In this article, photogeometric features were proposed to interpret both the photometric texture and geometric shape information of 2D manifolds in a consistent manner, and the 4D features encoded the spatial distribution of gradients that are derived generically for any scalar field on arbitrary organized surface meshes.

Where, Wherefore, and How? - Contrasting Two Surveillance Contexts According to Acceptance
TL;DR: This paper investigates the acceptance of surveillance technologies for medical and crime surveillance scenarios using a conjoint analysis approach including four relevant aspects: location of surveillance, increase in safety, invasion of privacy, and the applied camera type.

Surveillance Privacy Protection
TL;DR: The objective of this chapter is to evaluate what types of surveillance, privacy and protection measures are being implemented, how information is being used and what rights individuals have over this.

Human and machine recognition of faces: a survey
TL;DR: A critical survey of existing literature on human and machine recognition of faces is presented, followed by a brief overview of the literature on face recognition in the psychophysics community and a detailed overview of move than 20 years of research done in the engineering community.

Comparison and combination of ear and face images in appearance-based biometrics
TL;DR: It is found that recognition performance is not significantly different between the face and the ear, for example, 70.5 percent versus 71.6 percent in one experiment and multimodal recognition using both the ear and face results in statistically significant improvement over either individual biometric.

Face Recognition in Poor-Quality Video: Evidence From Security Surveillance:
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the ability of subjects to identify target people captured by a commercially available video security device and found that subjects who were personally familiar with the targets performed very well at identifying them, but subjects unfamiliar with the target performed very poorly.
