-MegaPixels.cc is an independent research project about publicly available face recognition datasets. This website is based, in part, on earlier installations and research projects about facial recognition datasets in 2016-2018, which focused particularly on the MegaFace dataset. Since then it has evolved into a large-scale survey of publicly-available face and person analysis datasets, covering their usage, geographies, and ethics.
+MegaPixels.cc is a research project about publicly available face recognition datasets. This website is based, in part, on an [earlier installations](https://ahprojects.com/megapixels-glassroom/) and research about facial recognition datasets. Since then it has evolved into a large-scale survey of publicly-available face and person analysis datasets. Initially this site was planned as a facial recognition tool to search the datasets. After building several prototypes using over 1 million face images from these datasets, it became clear that facial recognition was mereley a face similar search. The results were not accurate enough to align with goals of this website: to promote responsible use of data and expose existing and past ethical breaches.
 
-An academic report and presentation on the findings is forthcoming. This site is published to make the research more accessible to a wider audience and to include visualizations and interactive features not possible in PDF publications.

-The Oxford Town Centre dataset is a video of pedestrians in a busy downtown area in Oxford used for creating surveillance algorithms with "potential applications in activity recognition and remote biometric analysis" or non-cooperative face recognition. [^ben_benfold_orig]
+The Oxford Town Centre dataset is a video of pedestrians in a busy downtown area in Oxford used for creating surveillance algorithms with potential applications in activity recognition, remote biometric analysis, and non-cooperative face recognition. [^ben_benfold_orig]
 
-Based on observations of the dataset video and Google Street images, the source of the footage has been geolocated to a public CCTV camera at the intersection of Cornmarket and Market St. Oxford, England ([map](https://www.google.com/maps/@51.7528347,-1.2581078,3a,90y,324.38h,101.91t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s3uTXi12qVnI35DnDJbDofg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656)). Based on an analysis of the papers that use or cite this dataset [^guiding_surveillance] the inferred year of capture was definitely 2009 and the season was perhaps February or March based on the the window advertisements and cool-weather clothing.
-
-Halfway through the video a peculiar and somewhat rude man enters the video and stands directly over top a water drain for over a minute. His unusual demeanor and apparently scripted behavior suggests a possible relationship to the CCTV operators.
+REVISE
 
 Although Oxford Town Centre dataset first appears as a pedestrian dataset, it was created to improve the stabilization of pedstrian detections in order to extract a more accurate head region that would lead to improvements in face recognition.

+### Location
+
+The street location of the camera used for the Oxford Town Centre dataset can be easily confirmed using only two visual clues in video: the GAP store and the main road [source](https://www.google.com/maps/@51.7528162,-1.2581152,3a,50.3y,310.59h,87.23t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s3FsGN-PqYC-VhQGjWgmBdQ!2e0!5s20120601T000000!7i13312!8i6656). The camera angle and field of view indicate that the camera was elevated and placed at the corner. The edge of the building is visible and there is a small white nylon strap and pigeon deterrent spikes visible on the upper perimeter of the building. Combined with stability of camera and pigeon appearances in front of the camera at 1:24 and 3:29, these visual cues indicate that the camera was mounted outside on the corner of the building just above the deterrence spikes.

+Facial recognition is a scam. 
 
+During the last 20 years commericial, academic, and governmental agencies have promoted the false dream of a future with face recognition. This essay debunks the popular myth that such a thing ever existed.
+
+There is no such thing as *face recognition*. For the last 20 years, government agencies, commercial organizations, and academic institutions have played the public as a fool, selling a roadmap of the future that simply does not exist. Facial recognition, as it is currently defined, promoted, and sold to the public, government, and commercial sector is a scam.
+
+Committed to developing robust solutions with superhuman accuracy, the industry has repeatedly undermined itself by never actually developing anything close to "face recognition".
+
+There is only biased feature vector clustering and probabilistic thresholding.
