How my thesis project looked like in 2007
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQ5LnY21Hgc

It's exactly the stuff you see at 0:48 to 0:52 in the video. Computer vision using low resolution, 3d scale-invariant pattern recognition techniques for mass-public surveillance. Back then I was using [SIFT](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale-invariant_feature_transform). Nowadays, it must be neural net deep-learning techniques. Maybe not, since it's generally much slower and takes up plenty of resources compared to the lightning speed, low resolution SIFT feature gait-modelling and clustering techniques we applied back then. Felt kinda disturbed realising what we've made years after, but I guess it's just an inevitable piece of technology, which of course, could be used for both good and evil. Video by WSJ.

It's very unsettling to see what might be described as a dystopian future in the present. Also the passive attitude of the rest of the world to such abusses is even more messed up.

Technologies can be shaped as a form of violence, like a gun for war, or the actual surveillance gun of violation of peoples privacy.
Great inventions with use for Humanity finish in the hands of the militarized war" mongos" and centralized state agencies.
In the end, they use Science against people. Like Edgar Morin says Science should have a conscience.
And that conscience should care about Humanity

Wow. This tech are really futuristic. 

I can imagine how they have really grown from humans to machines. 
And I would say that in terms of surveillance, this tech is more accurate and timely for the crimes going on in our society today.

And I must say that this project is really timely. The rate of crimes, misidentity and every event that has to do with security has greatly increased, this research as well as implementation is really a good way to reduce crime.

Great project topic.

Unlike the recycled ones we do in my country

Yeah. China has really gone very far technologically. At least this new technology has been able to reduce the pressure and flaws of humans with its accuracy and precision.

>Felt kinda disturbed realising what we've made years after,

I agree with you on that too. 

But just like you said in your closing remarks "its just an inevitable piece of technology"..

Wow! 11 years ago and you did your thesis. 

Let me try to imagine where I was then.

I think early college.

Wow.. @etherpunk, your topic makes great sense and even till today still has great relevance considering security challenges we are experiencing globally

Cool stuff for your thesis. Wish I did the same :/

Side bar note, did not realize how aggressive China is with terrorism. It makes USA/Europe look very weak considering what the Chinese government has done in Xinjiang. Nothing is perfect but the government is being very proactive. So sad for the citizens though. It is like a prison.

Funny that there are some who want this level of government control even now within the places you mention. China is making a huge mistake by treating them like Palestinians or similar. That path only leads to the outgroup feeling more disenchanted with the occupying nation, and will cause more strife and leave little room for integration or healing.

There is no doubt at all technology has it's own bright and dark sides. It is always hurting whenever i see that terrorism is prevailing day by day in my beloved universe, should be stopped at once, else-wise there would remain nothing behind but only bloodshed!!

This field seems to be moving so fast now. Some of the uses are scary, but we need it for things like self-driving cars that may eventually be far safer than humans.

Self-driving cars would be nearly 100% safe if they did not have wireless internet connections and the code was completely opened up for scrutiny and checked thoroughly. The route they're going seems a bit different, with many excuses for room for error.

I very much agree with you when you say that sometimes it's good and other bad. But science and technology I see as something autonomous that is growing, advancing and progressing. And it depends on the hands that fall if he has conscience or not.

Eek, Islamic terrorists in China, I did not know! When, O when, will this madness end?!  Sad to say that China's police/surveillance state reminds me of Home, Egypt and, in some ways, the US is not too, too far behind.

Also, by association, re: your closing  remark, I think of Alfred Nobel's quote:

>My dynamite will sooner lead to peace than a thousand world conventions. As soon as men will find that in one instant, whole armies can be utterly destroyed, they surely will abide by golden peace.

Ah, Humanity!

Have a good weekend, @etherpunk `_/|\_`
