The new 500 megapixel Chinese camera can set you apart from the whole crowd
China is significantly testing and using face recognition
technology. It is used to identify criminals and even to monitor students.
People can also pay by simply scanning the face.
China's final step is a face recognition supercar that can capture thousands of people at a stadium in detail. The unveiling of the impressive camera, which can also locate a target at the moment, has generated a lot of criticism, so some critics believe it will be used to control the population.
The new camera has a resolution of 500 megapixels and is five times more detailed than the 120 million pixel resolution of the human eye. The camera can take panoramic photography from the stands and deliver clear, perfectly detailed photography of all visible faces in the crowd.
The camera was developed by Fudan University in Shanghai and the Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Changchun.
Photos taken with this camera can be integrated with artificial intelligence, face recognition technology, real-time monitoring and other technologies to work as an invincible surveillance solution. Certain targets can be found for a moment.
Cheng Xiaoyang, a scientist in the research team, said in a report that the police could even use the system in downtown Shanghai to monitor crowds, find criminals and prevent accidents.
While the camera is undoubtedly an impressive technological breakthrough, critics point to the implications it has on privacy in Chinese society. Australian media has said the camera could be used as part of a social credit system currently under development in China. It is a program that monitors and evaluates citizens.
As the Chinese media reports, the country is already the most watched in the world. This technology, while impressive from a technological point of view, looks a lot like Orwell's 1984 Big Brother.
