This website is based, in part, on an <a href="https://ahprojects.com/megapixels-glassroom/">earlier installations</a> 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.</p> -<p>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". The continued research on MegaPixels is supported by a 1 year Researcher-in-Residence grant from Karlsruhe HfG (2019-2020).</p> -<p>When possible, and once thoroughly verified, data generated for MegaPixels will be made available for download on <a href="https://github.com/adamhrv/megapixels">github.com/adamhrv/megapixels</a></p> -</section><section><div class='columns columns-3'><div class='column'><h4>Team</h4> -<ul> -<li>Adam Harvey: Concept, research and analysis, design, computer vision</li> -<li>Jules LaPlace: Information and systems architecture, data management, web applications</li> -</ul> -</div><div class='column'><h4>Contributing Researchers</h4> -<ul> -<li>Berit Gilma: Dataset statistics</li> -<li>Beth (aka Ms. Celeb): Dataset usage verification</li> -<li>Mathana Stender: Commercial usage verification</li> -</ul> -</div><div class='column'><h4>Code and Libraries</h4> -<ul> -<li><a href="https://semanticscholar.org">Semantic Scholar</a> for citation aggregation</li> -<li>Leaflet.js for maps</li> -<li>C3.js for charts</li> -<li>ThreeJS for 3D visualizations</li> -<li>PDFMiner.Six and Pandas for research paper data analysis</li> -</ul> -</div></div></section><section><p>Please direct questions, comments, or feedback to <a href="https://mastodon.social/@adamhrv">mastodon.social/@adamhrv</a></p> -</section> - - </div> - <footer> - <div> - <a href="/">MegaPixels.cc</a> - <a href="/datasets/">Datasets</a> - <a href="/about/">About</a> - <a href="/about/press/">Press</a> - <a href="/about/legal/">Legal and Privacy</a> - </div> - <div> - MegaPixels ©2017-19 Adam R.
