I was joking but somebody's beaten me to the idea

"In August 2017, the Metropolitan Police used facial recognition software at Notting Hill carnival. The practice saw the police scanning the faces of thousands of carnival-goers to see if any matched with photos of people who had previously been arrested"

There are in fact people with extraordinary facial recognition skills who are employed by police and security forces - they can often match or beat computer driven facial recognition technology (which requires matching the angles and distances of key facial points against a database.) This technology is what is used in passport scanning applications - where your face is matched against the stored data on your photograph. The computer is comparing points, distances and angles, not the whole photograph. There are no such databases held on dogs.

@Penguin68 they are called SuperRecognisers. There was an online test and I scored very highly to my amazement.


The Council can not afford CCTV; rather they would prefer to hand the management of parks to "Friends of...." organisations. It's a good rumour though.


I also heard that the Council are thinking of spending millions to change their logo from the friendly handwritten style they have now, to a ComicSans style.

Apples version is quite complex and seems to use multiple technologies and quite a bit of software :)

I work at a well known department store (and crime hotspot) and we have a few working for us. The met often call us up for certain occasions (protest marches, big sporting events) to borrow them.

I need something memorable to happen to remember a face or I forget. I had real hopes for this tech in google glass etc.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By Rockets · Posted

      Which has, unfortunately, closed. Au Ciel is much better than Gail's. Big bakery in the parade of shops near Rocca in Dulwich Village with all the seats outside - you can't miss it. Normally a big queue outside at weekends with walkers and cyclists topping up on carbs and coffee!

      Attempted car theft - Underhill

      By muffins78 · Posted

      Hi, just to say there was an attempted car theft at the FH end of Underhill over Friday night. Without wanting to go into all the detail, they were pretty adamant and took a great deal of time to (try) take the car. The police came within minutes, and drove around etc.. The police said the car was in demand at the moment. I don’t know if that was brand or model. notwithstanding what the police said, all car owners should be vigilant and neighbours. These thieves were interrupted twice by neighbours, but the thieves came back etc and the neighbours didn’t put 2+2 together as to what was happening to the car. The thieves were two guys, on the cctv it looked like they were wearing grey, but it may have been black (cctv can look odd at night). My neighbours said they were black. They had a bag with them, no doubt carrying tools and they may have been dropped off by a car, that is being investigated.  Take care!!
