According to the Yomiuri Shimbun, the JR East Japan had a prisoner and temporary servant for detecting facial recognition cameras installed in the station premises, but it could lead to the surveillance and restrictions of the source.It was said that he was pointed out.The detection system of JR East is a mechanism that automatically matches the face information of the person reflected in the camera and the face information of the person registered in the database.
Different from "minority report"
The face -certified software detection system is trying to predict future crimes and comes from the paradigm shift from Crisis Management to Risk Management.
See here for the differences between Crisis Management and risk management.
However, the "prediction" and "prediction" of crime are different things."Prediction" requires scientific basis, but "forecast" does not require scientific explanation.For example, a crime prediction drawn by Steven Spielberg's film, "Minority Report" (the original is Philip Dick's short novel), was not a scientist but a mutant (psychic).
However, there is no forecast based on science.Earthquake prediction is an example.In this case, the difference from the prediction is only a difference in probability.It is concluded that the prediction will definitely happen.It is speculated that predictions will occur with a high probability (likely).In short, even if there is a scientific basis, there is a big difference in what it means in advance and measuring in advance.
"Prediction" is essential for security cameras
Certainly, in order to make a "crime prevention camera" in a true sense, you must predict and deal with crimes just before the crime.Otherwise, the entity of the security camera is only an "investigative camera" that is active after the incident.
However, the problem is how to predict crime and how to measure risks.
The detection system of JR East was trying to use the database of the source of the source for "Sashii".Then, it can cause human rights problems.At least, you will need an informed consent of the source.
In Afghanistan, the problem is that Taliban, who has taken power, seizes the database of the US military collaborator.Privacy should be cautious.
On the other hand, a detection system that does not require a database of the source face is the software called Defender X.It tries to predict a crime by detecting a physiologically occurs when approaching a crime.In other words, the physiological reaction of a criminal planner is used for "sashi".
Practice without theory is violence
When a person is nervous, even if he does not want to move, his hands tremble or shake.Even if the hand you listed is still, it may be trembling subtly.The transient "trend" due to physical and mental stress appears on the skin of the face."Defender X" is to analyze such facial skin vibration and measure the current tension of the person.
This software is physiologically close to the principle of polygraph (commonly known as a lie detector) and a doppler sensor (radio sensor) that can detect heartbeat and breathing even if you are away.In terms of image, it is close to the world of the anime "PSYCHO-PASS".
"Defender X" works simply by installing it on a security camera already installed, but even if "Defender X" is in a severe tension, this software is so nervous.I don't know.
Therefore, the detected person cannot be regarded as a crime reserve army.It is necessary to position it as a "calling person" that requires help here.In that respect, if you install it at the station, you may be able to help those who are trying to commit suicide.
Crime prevention, human rights, safety and freedom have to be a trade -off (conflict) relationship.Nevertheless, it should be noted that the theory without practice is powerless, and the practice without theory is violence.
