-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.
