Smart Cameras Blog

[From Racist CCTV - facial recognition techniques used to classify people by race - thankfully this is only an art project ! - Spy Blog - SpyBlog.org.uk]

An interesting art project from Benjamin Wales. He has setup a smart camera system that has the ability to find and follow faces and then analyse and store their race data. His motivation was to critique our ideas about surveillance.

He also has another interesting project, Static Obesity Logging (SOLA), which analyzes BMI. The system is able to remotely calculate Body Mass Index and publish the data via wired and wireless networks.

Both of these applications are interesting ways to use the power of smart cameras.
