"HawkEye II is intended to see expansive areas wtih resolutions that allow users to detect movements of people and vehicles. It does not provide the ability to detect gender, ethnicity, age, hair color, nor can it be used for facial recognition. This is an inherent limit to Wide Area Motion Imagery.
