Thursday Oct. 7

I wasn't able to make to class on Thursday since I was feeling under the weather.. So I guess I'll talk about one of the articles I had prepared to present that day. I had pulled out this article called "Vigilant Camera Eye" from technews which is based on a new camera system that would enhance security in public areas and buildings. It would record data in real time and when it notices something out of the unusual it locks on and zooms in to scope out the scenario. "The automatic camera system is designed to replicate human-like capabilities in identifying and processing moving images." Overall, it is supposed to replace the job of someone who is supposed to keep watch of large areas. The article uses a soccer stadium as an example where security can't necessarily keep track of everything going on within the crowd of fans, which is why this new innovative camera system was invented. It is easier view the entire image of all the fans, record the data, and when a brawl breaks out it flags it immediately. In other words, if you happen to working as security at large events like these, you might want to consider a different career path because you will be replaced by a machine!
