Emotion reading technology could soon be used by police after a
Russian firm created a tool that can identify people in a crowd and tell
if they are angry, stressed or nervous.
The software, created by NTechLab, can monitor citizens for
suspicious behaviour by tracking identity, age, gender and current
emotional state. It could be used to pre-emptively stop criminals and
potential terrorists.
"The recognition gives a new level of security in the street because
in a couple of seconds you can identify terrorists or criminals or
killers," said Alexander Kabakov, NTechLab chief executive.
The emotion recognition tool is a new part of NTechLab's facial
recognition software, which made the headlines last year when it was
used to power the FindFace app that can track down anyone on Russian social network VKontakte from a photo.
The identification app claims to have reconnected long-lost friends
and family members, as well as helped police solve two cold cases and
identify criminals. Read More
