They couldn’t, it seems impractical for an event of that scale.
Plus, it’s easier to bypass a door check or even convince the person doing the check to let you in.
- xyzzyz 4y agoThis is in fact more practical than setting up face detection system, all you need to do is ID scanner and some simple OCR system to cross check the name on ID against blacklist, each person entering slaps ID against scanners (similar to how you do it with boarding passes at the airport or with public transit passes at gates), after one second either red or green light flashes. Shouldn’t take more than 5 seconds per person.
- strix_varius 4y agoHere's how we know this isn't true: they evaluated how to do this at scale, chose facial recognition, and then implemented it successfully in a 6,000 person stadium.
- bonzini 4y agoNot because it's impractical to check IDs, but because facial recognition is less explicit and thus more easily "normalized".
- azernik 4y agoThat is not, in fact, how boarding passes at airports work. Identity checking is done by TSA, in a step that is very often the bottleneck and consumes enormous amounts of manpower and physical space.
