New Thermal Imaging System Could Help Detect Drunk People

PATRAS, Greece (CBS Seattle) – A new use for old technology could give police a hand in spotting drunks in public.

In a paper that was published in the “International Journal of Electronic Security and Digital Forensics,” Greek scientists Georgia Koukiou and Vassilis Anastassopoulos are developing new algorithms that will gather data about blood-vessels on a subject’s face.

The rosy red glow that alcohol gives drinkers is really blood vessels dilating on the skin’s surface, which changes the temperature of a person’s face. Thermal imaging devices can detect those changes.

What Koukiou and Anastassopoulos propose is taking that information and then running it through a comparison of thermal imaging scans of drunk and sober individuals.

Another algorithm they came up with is used to map the person’s face. When drinking a person’s nose becomes warmer as their forehead becomes cooler.

No more drinking for you young lady! Unless you want to be found out. Is it just me, or is technology getting way too invasive and out of hand lately?
Everything is meant to enslave us; not make life better.
Sucks really.

No problem.

Dunk your nose into your drink, lay back and put your ashtray on your forehead.

Just a shame they can't utilize this technology to wean out pathological liars in the Banking sector, and Schizophrenia in Politicians.
