Image Recognition
A new video from human rights organization Amnesty International maps the locations of more than 15,000 cameras used by the New York Police Department, both for routine surveillance and in facial-recognition searches. The group says it is the first to map the locations of that many cameras in the city. A video by Amnesty International shows how New York City surveillance cameras work. Earlier this year, the NYPD was required to disclose the details of its facial-recognition systems for public comment. Facial-recognition systems often perform less accurately on darker-skinned people than lighter-skinned people.
