Duke MTMC (Multi-Target, Multi-Camera) is a dataset of surveillance video footage taken on Duke University's campus in 2014 and is used for research and development of video tracking systems, person re-identification, and low-resolution facial recognition. The dataset contains over 14 hours of synchronized surveillance video from 8 cameras at 1080p and 60FPS with over 2 million frames of 2,000 students walking to and from classes. The 8 surveillance cameras deployed on campus were specifically setup to capture students "during periods between lectures, when pedestrian traffic is heavy" 4.

In this investigation into the Duke MTMC dataset we tracked down over 100 publicly available research papers that explicitly acknowledged using Duke MTMC. Our analysis shows that the dataset has spread far beyond its origins and intentions in academic research projects at Duke University. Since its publication in 2016, more than twice as many research citations originated in China as in the United States. Among these citations were papers with explicit and direct links to the Chinese military and several of the companies known to provide Chinese authorities with the oppressive surveillance technology used to monitor millions of Uighur Muslims.

Despite repeated warnings by Human Rights Watch that the authoritarian surveillance used in China represents a violation of human rights, researchers at Duke University continued to provide open access to their dataset for anyone to use for any project. As the surveillance crisis in China grew, so did the number of citations with links to organizations complicit in the crisis. In 2018 alone there were over 70 research projects happening in China that publicly acknowledged benefiting from the Duke MTMC dataset. Amongst these were projects from SenseNets, SenseTime, CloudWalk, Megvii, Beihang University, and the PLA's National University of Defense Technology.

By some metrics the dataset is considered a huge success. It is regarded as highly influential research and has contributed to hundreds, if not thousands, of projects to advance artificial intelligence for person tracking and monitoring. All the above citations, regardless of which country is using it, align perfectly with the original intent of the Duke MTMC dataset: "to accelerate advances in multi-target multi-camera tracking".

The same logic applies for all the new extensions of the Duke MTMC dataset including Duke MTMC Re-ID, Duke MTMC Video Re-ID, Duke MTMC Groups, and Duke MTMC Attribute. And it also applies to all the new specialized datasets that will be created from Duke MTMC, such as the low-resolution face recognition dataset called QMUL-SurvFace, which was funded in part by SeeQuestor, a computer vision provider to law enforcement agencies including Scotland Yards and Queensland Police. From the perspective of academic researchers, security contractors, and defense agencies using these datasets to advance their organization's work, Duke MTMC provides significant value regardless of who else is using it so long as it accelerate advances their own interests in artificial intelligence.

But this perspective comes at significant cost to civil rights, human rights, and privacy. The creation and distribution of the Duke MTMC illustrates an egregious prioritization of surveillance technologies over individual rights, where the simple act of going to class could implicate your biometric data in a surveillance training dataset, perhaps even used by foreign defense agencies against your own ethics, against universal human rights, or against your own political interests.
