Interesting, I think I saw this same exact example at GTC 2016. Although, on a quick search on mobile - I can't find the talk... It was a Chinese company discussing their surveillance in major cities and their use of GPUs for their form of video compression. With the specific goal of keeping the data as small as possible. It was the most dystopian talk I've ever been at, and the presentors were all smiles and laughs. I honestly question how well it works at scale with hundreds of millions of faces at different angles. I asked them about this, and they said it won't be long now to fix. Their explanation was they only need one accurate view of their face to tag those people. Then they just track them where ever they go.

Not just that, but everyone has a unique way they walk, called their gait, so if you are identified once (usually by facial recognition) your gait can be used to identify you forever after, even if you try to hide your identity. Only way to go undetected then is to purposely change your gait and other things, but the important thing here is: We are at a point where the effort you have to go through to remain anonymous in the public is so high that it may not be worth the effort.

  A few years back,I read about Chinese research on gait analysis via floor tiles that can uniquely identify you by calculations on weight and shear forces as you walk over them. I thought it was evil, but brilliant, out-of-the box thinking.
