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.

One sample per person facial recognition with local binary patterns and image sub-grids

TL;DR: This paper proposes a method of improving the accuracy or efficiency of LBP-based face recognition by using a tree-based data structure to create “sub-grids” allowing for novel division patterns to be used in facial recognition, as opposed to the uniform grids used for most LBP face recognition.

An Efficient Privacy-preserving IoT System for Face Recognition

TL;DR: This paper proposes a novel efficient privacy-preserving face representation scheme in the Bloom filter space, which can satisfy the resource limits from IoT devices and retains the high data utility on analytics (e.g., classification).

Tag Detection for Preventing Unauthorized Face Image Processing

TL;DR: A new technology is being proposed as a solution to the problem of unintentional facial detection and recognition in pictures in which the individuals appearing want to express their privacy preferences, through the use of different tags.

Human face images from multiple perspectives with lighting from multiple directions with no occlusion, glasses and hat.

TL;DR: This data set facilitates the evaluation of the impact of multiple factors on algorithm performance, and includes images taken under five different lighting levels, seven different lighting positions and five different subject positions.

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.
