## Brainwash Dataset
-*Brainwash* is a head detection dataset created from San Francisco's Brainwash Cafe livecam footage. It includes 11,918 images of "everyday life of a busy downtown cafe"[^readme] captured at 100 second intervals throught the entire day. Brainwash dataset was captured during 3 days in 2014: October 27, November 13, and November 24. According the author's reserach paper introducing the dataset, the images were acquired with the help of Angelcam.com [cite orig paper].
-
-Brainwash is not a widely used dataset but since its publication by Stanford University in 2015, it has notably appeared in several research papers from the National University of Defense Technology in Changsha, China. In 2016 and in 2017 researchers there conducted studies on detecting people's heads in crowded scenes for the purpose of surveillance [^localized_region_context] [^replacement_algorithm].

-If you happen to have been at Brainwash cafe in San Franscisco at any time on October 26, November 13, or November 24 in 2014 you are most likely included in the Brainwash dataset.

+Brainwash is a dataset of livecam images taken from San Francisco's Brainwash Cafe. It includes 11,918 images of "everyday life of a busy downtown cafe"[^readme] captured at 100 second intervals throught the entire day. The Brainwash dataset includes 3 full days of webcam images taken on October 27, November 13, and November 24 in 2014. According the author's [reserach paper](https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/End-to-End-People-Detection-in-Crowded-Scenes-Stewart-Andriluka/1bd1645a629f1b612960ab9bba276afd4cf7c666) introducing the dataset, the images were acquired with the help of Angelcam.com[^end_to_end]
+The Brainwash dataset is unique because it uses images from a publicly available webcam that records people inside a privately owned business without any consent. No ordinary cafe custom could ever suspect there image would end up in dataset used for surveillance reserach and development, but that is exactly what happened to customers at Brainwash cafe in San Francisco.

+Although Brainwash appears to be a less popular dataset, it was used in 2016 and 2017 by researchers from the National University of Defense Technology in China took note of the dataset and used it for two [research](https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Localized-region-context-and-object-feature-fusion-Li-Dou/b02d31c640b0a31fb18c4f170d841d8e21ffb66c) [projects](https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/A-Replacement-Algorithm-of-Non-Maximum-Suppression-Zhao-Wang/591a4bfa6380c9fcd5f3ae690e3ac5c09b7bf37b) on advancing the capabilities of object detection to more accurately isolate the target region in an image ([PDF](https://www.itm-conferences.org/articles/itmconf/pdf/2017/04/itmconf_ita2017_05006.pdf)). [^localized_region_context] [^replacement_algorithm]. The dataset also appears in a 2017 [research paper](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7877809) from Peking University for the purpose of improving surveillance capabilities for "people detection in the crowded scenes".
