Surveillance, nowadays especially provided by information and communication technology, is at the core of social control that has been largely commoditised and privatized. Consumer culture gives hope for freedom lives, challenging the social hierarchies that dominated the earlier – in Bauman’s vocabulary, “solid” – phase of modernity. The aim of this paper is to present two of many tools, which are used by biggest IT companies to keep under surveillance the individuals, societies and nations in the Liquid Modern Times. There has been the socio-cultural context of Internet’s development analyzed to find the premises that led to a transformation of cyberspace from a freedom to a surveillance place, and conducted a case study of Facebook’s facial recognition technology and Google Street View practices. Non-reactive research methods have been used in the paper.

Do budowy demonstratora wykorzystano aplikację "Multiple face detection and recognition in real time". Jest ona łatwa w instalacji i obsłudze. Bez problemu wykrywa każdą kamerę USB podłączoną do komputera. Dzięki możliwości zmiany kodu możliwe jest dopasowanie rozdzielczości w aplikacji do tej, którą obsługuje kamera.

For the construction of the demonstrator the multiple face detection and recognition in real time application was used. It is easily installable and very handy; it tracks down all USB cameras connected to the computer with no problem. Thanks to the possibility of code changing you can match application resolution to the one being in operation in the camera.
This article focuses on the problems encountered when using face observation and emotion recognition for the purposes of identification and also classification of specific emotions. The identification of emotions are particularly difficult, especially within varying scenes. In this paper we review the main methods of the identification of certain emotions. The authors present the results of their research analysis in tracking changes of the emotions in the selected software packages.
The human face, real and imagined, has long figured into various forms of cultural and personal recognition-to include citizenship, in both the modern and the ancient world. But beyond affiliations related to borders and government, the human face has also figured prominently into biometrics that feed posthuman questions and anxieties. For while one requirement of biometrics is concerned with “unicity,” or that which identifies an individual as unique, another requirement is that it identify “universality,” confirming an individual’s membership in the species. Shakespeare’s sonnets grapple with the crisis of encountering a universal beauty in a unique specimen to which Time and Nature nonetheless afford no special privilege. Between fair and dark lies a posthuman lament over the injustice of natural law and the social valorizations arbitrarily marshaled to defend it.

Identyfikatory naturalne są najstarszym i zarazem najdynamiczniej rozwijanym środkiem weryfikacji tożsamości człowieka. Rozwój ten dotyczy zwłaszcza zaawansowanych technik biometrycznych z elementami sztucznej inteligencji. W artykule zostały przedstawione - na tle innych środków identyfikacji człowieka - podstawowe zasady weryfikacji tożsamości na podstawie wizerunku twarzy.

Natural means of identification are the oldest and most dynamically developed ways of verifying human identity. Their development concerns in particular advanced biometric techniques with elements of artificial intelligence. This article presents - against the background of other means of human identification - the basic principles used to verify identity based on the image of the face.
