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. Continued research on MegaPixels is supported by a 1 year Researcher-in-Residence grant from Karlsruhe HfG. +An academic report and presentation on the findings of this project is forthcoming. Throughout 2019, this site will be updated with more datasets and research reports on the general themes of remote biometric analysis and media collected "in the wild".
