Driver
http://bit.ly/181TWd Implement facial recognition software to determine if the driver behind the wheel is the owner or not. A car jacker's face will trigger an alert with his realtime picture delivered to the basestation via GPRS. The PC only records movement inside the car, should the hijacker ripout the camera the movement he made just before this will be sent to the basestation via GPRS. Nokia has implemented facial recognition in their phones to authenticate the user http://www.cellular-news.com/story/16331.php And this same technology can be used to authenticate the driver behind a wheel. http://www.3vr.com sells facial recognition software for $1000 per camera.

Face.com, the company responsible for Facebook applications Photo Tagger and Photo Finder, lets you take any photo and quickly identify who is in it and where they are in the photo. This facial recognition is a boon to those tagging photos, and now Face.com is ready to bring a similar capability to the rest of the internet. May 3rd saw the launch of their new open API capable of scanning images and rapidly identifying the location, orientation, and identity of human faces

The teams hope to give the first demonstration of FascinatE at the IBC expo in Amsterdam in September 2011, although the system will need further development before it can operate in real time.

A comprehensive range of detection filters provide the means to discriminate the object behaviors appropriate to each surveillance scene, meaning that classification is always accurate. Easy to set up, Aventura's Video Analytics Software automatically adjusts to the conditions it encounters, meaning that it is ideal for both experienced and untrained personnel to use, and can even be used within the home. This contrasts greatly with alternative software setups, which can have as many as 100 algorithm setup parameters just to adjust filters and adjust to lighting conditions. With factors such as this, it is easy to see that Aventura has been developed to produce real, working results, solely with the end-user in mind.

The piXserve-ALERT software resides on its own server and interacts with other piXserve computer on the customer network.  With piXserve‐ALERT, users can create a search query and convert it to an alert criteria.  piXserve‐ALERT keeps track of what piXserve machines are indexing in near real time (broadcast video programs, security videos, web‐crawls, etc.) and when a match is made an e‐mail with a link is sent to the user. The user clicks on the link in the e‐mail and piXserve displays the image/video‐segment that has the content of interest.  From the standard piXserve user interface, users can manage their alerts, share them with other members of their organization, review a history of triggers for each alert, create new ones, delete old ones, etc.

AMD fusion of cpu and GPU
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/technology/business-technology/amds-fusion-promises-big-jump-in-processing-power/article1938602/ For businesses or consumers, searching photos and video for specific images can be a time-consuming task. Whether it’s an auntie looking for shots of a favourite nephew or a journalist tracking down a clip of the celebrity of the day, it usually involves staring at the screen for long periods while going through file after file. Now facial recognition software can use the APU to quickly hunt through still and video images, frame by frame, to find a selected face.

Farmers bakkies
Install the EmbeddedPc and everytime the bakkie's door gets opened a 10s delayed Jpeg image is gprs'd to the security company. Facial recognition software installed inside every bakkie would be ideal but probably to expensive for most. To reduce the cost of facial recognition software store the faces of hundreds of farmers on a central computer so that the software can verify their faces. Thus the security company would not need to manually verify the Jpeg image every time, which also has privacy implications - a computer does'nt care wether you combed your hair this morning or not.

This facial recognition only needs to be done everytime the door opens from a stationary position. It is impossible to hijack a vehicle driving at 60km/hour, it must be brought to a standstill. A Gps unit and electronic speed sensor will determine this.

Checkup on your truckdriver
Extremely small cameras or cameras embedded in the dashboard would allow an employer to check-up on his truck driver in realtime without the driver ever having to be aware of it. Facial recognition software is now so advanced that it can determine the wakeful state of the driver and sound an alarm if the driver were to fall a sleep.
