Mass Sureillance at Scale

Question: Can you capture all the faces in this massively crowded rally? Me: Hold my beer ...

No one remain hidden

You must have known that the first major legal challenge in the UK over police use of automated facialrecognition surveillance has begun in Cardiff just yesterday. In other side, police in London conducted a public street trial with facial recognition cameras. A man who covered his face as he walked by the cameras was stopped by officers, forced to submit to being photographed, and then arrested on a charge of public disorder after complaining loudly. In US, opposition to Amazon's sale of its facial recognition technology to US police forces is set to come to a head at its annual general meeting on Wednesday. San Francisco , long at the heart of the technology revolution, took a stand against potential abuse on Tuesday by banning the use offacial recognition software by the police and other agencies. We can really see that the mass facial recognition technologies  are facing serious controversies as opposed to China, where social credit system relies on facial recogni

The idea sparked on my mind within maybe Dec 10~20, 2018 !! Within this small amount of time, I hae been solving enormous amount of technical and business challenges on my company!! But its technically related to the thing I work with. On my company, I have developed a computer vision based surveillance software which recognizes people by their face and vehicles by their license plate. It has been working well, but have been looking for something more challenging to explore. I was quite amazed by the capabilities of . l of Generative Adversarial Networks that can generate photo realistic visuals learning from large data.

First attempt-> Unmasking with color with Black mask     2.Unmasking Greyscale with Black mask
