Fujitsu has developed a software that people can detect in low quality surveillance videos based on their clothing colors.
As part of the Technical Committee Conference of Information Processing Society Japan, to be held on 6 and 7 March in Sendai on Honshu, the Fujitsu Laboratories has introduced a new software. This should be able to clearly assign the motion profiles of people also based on a low-resolution video.
Privacy Concerns
Fujitsu leads through high-resolution surveillance cameras in an official communication, there would be video material recorded by surveillance cameras on city streets and squares, increasingly used by the industry, for example, the locations of local shops or shop windows to improve. The resolution of the security cameras have thereby increased in recent years, so that the faces of the recorded persons could be identified in the videos. While this fact may be useful in the investigation of crimes, express data-security concerns when motion profiles can be created by clearly identifiable people in public space.
Detection using clothing colors
This issue will Fujitsu vacate his new software out of the way. The company is claims to be able to give a reliable motion profiles on the basis of low-resolution video. The program recognizes only the head shape of these people and can also assign a group the right torso. Individual Characteristics get the people by the color of their clothes, not by her face. The interplay between the head and torso shape and color of clothing except Fujitsu managed to track the movements of individuals over several camera locations. In one test run indoors, the system was able to recognize an average of 80 percent of the panelists. The accuracy of the results depends, according to the company from the camera position and the receiving environment from
The Fujitsu software assigns people in low-resolution videos to clothing colors to create motion profiles should be by.

Fujitsu wants with his solution to create allow motion profiles based on lower video resolution while protecting the privacy of the individuals recorded. In further tests, the hit rate of the software should be further increased. The launch of the company plans still in the 2015 fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2016.
Privacy concerns in Japan
Especially in Japan are privacy issues in the creation of motion profiles by surveillance cameras louder. Last year saw a planned study by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) a stir for the installation of 90 cameras at Osaka station was planned station in the Umeda district of Kitak-ku, Osaka. Should over a period of two years, thereby uniquely identify travelers by face detection and provided with a personal ID
