The data is clear - public trust in facial recognition requires clear rules, regulations, and guidelines.   A recent survey in Denmark reveals that 84% of Danish people support police use of facial recognition to prevent and solve crimes. While strong public support for the technology is evident, this trust is contingent on clear rules for data protection and transparency. 70% of survey correspondents believe that transparency is key for trust, while 51% demand stored data to be deleted the moment it becomes irrelevant.   At Milestone we believe that public trust is deeply intertwined with our commitment towards responsibility. In the words of our CEO, Thomas Jensen: "Technology’s potential is immense, but maintaining trust means establishing robust frameworks for security, regulation, and ethical use."   Click to learn how clear rules can build trust in police use of facial recognition: https://lnkd.in/gYgR6Zdf   #FacialRecognition #Milestone #PublicSafety #MakeTheWorldSee

Have you ever wondered how city officials track down vehicles involved in hit-and-run violations? Or how is it that traffic cameras don’t issue speeding tickets to police cars and ambulances? You might already know that the answer to these questions is automatic license plate recognition (also known as “LPR” or “ALPR”). License plate recognition is one of the most widely used analytics within video surveillance. Many Milestone customers use LPR with our XProtect software for traffic monitoring, law enforcement investigations, parking lot and access control management. So, if this police vehicle is chasing a car in a city monitored by XProtect, then yes! They’re after the right car. If you’re curious about the technical requirements of LPR, or if you’d like to know what’s possible with our own solution versus alternatives, check out this article: https://lnkd.in/edeyupJQ

Can photography be experienced with more than just the eyes? In line with our mission to "Make The World See" we have just visited the "WORLD UNSEEN" exhibition in Copenhagen by Canon Inc. and “Dansk Blindesamfund” - the Danish Blind Society.

Visitors are taken on a rich sensory journey where they can touch, feel, hear, and connect with the powerful stories behind each image.   If you're in Copenhagen, we encourage you to take the time to experience this inspiring exhibition at Langeline, and support this meaningful initiative.
