We deployed our Live Facial Recognition (LFR) technology for the first time this week.
The two vans were in Sale town centre on Tuesday where officers were on hand to talk to and engage with members of the public.
No arrests were made and the vans will return to Sale on Thursday for a further deployment.
Inspector Jon Middleton, who oversaw the Sale operation, said: “We deploy the LFR vans in areas where there is a policing reason – for example shoplifting or neighbourhood crime.
“It is important we are out and about speaking to people and engaging with the public, and that is exactly what we have been doing in Sale.
“People have generally been happy to see us and speak to us, and supportive of the way the technology is being used.
“We will gradually build up the number and frequency of the deployments, and in the coming weeks will be in Bolton, Wigan and Manchester city centre.”
We are using LFR technology to ensure the continued safety of our communities in Greater Manchester.
The Home Office has supplied GMP with two LFR vans for use in areas where an operational need has been identified – not exclusively but areas with crime issues and large footfall, as well as music and sporting events.
The cameras will focus on a specific area or crowd and detect faces compared to a pre-prepared watchlist with an alert issued immediately if there is a match.
We will list future deployments on our website.

Our pasts are always there; in the background. They may be left behind, abandoned, but more than ever, never anonymous.
No autocrat's facial recognition, no bot, no cookie, loyalty program or metadata left this. No government account, that creeping cross-referencing slime of control was here; until now. All that is here is artefacts telling tales of yesterdays gone.
In the background are the Glenburn shearer's quarters, what's left of the hay shed poles and the dark line of the latest crop of Pinus radiata first planted on this land in 1927.
No enterprise now stirs the shearer's quarters. They are silent ruins of a time when sheep powered this land. Without the sheep nobody cuts, cures and stores hay here anymore. In a good season like this one not even the hares, rabbits and kangaroos can keep up with the grass.
Just here, directly in front of you and next to a newer star picket and wire fence is this forlorn fragment of an older slip rail post; see that window there, a glimpse into the past.
Too much is gone to say if all of the old fence line was post and slip rail in structure. Sometimes they were just a closure for what might otherwise be a gateway, like the ones between our shed and fence where Molly the house cow was tethered for milking. In a background time when materials were expensive or simply unobtainable, labour was cheap and trees plentiful, cutting holes in spilt posts with a heavy mortising chisel, an axe or adze solved the day to day management need on the farm.
All of that steel in the bundled up wire, the posts and the remaining strands were made with energy from coal. Will a time come when these old things should be "mined" because their recovery releases less CO₂? The slip rail fence did less harm to our planet and is returning to the soil. They aren't making anymore iron deposits; Earth's atmospheric chemistry changed irreversibly so it can't happen now.
In the background are the lessons of irreversible change, like our future extinction if we fail to look and learn.
John met Yoko at a gallery exhibiting her art in London in November 1966. Intrigued, John tried to hammer a nail into piece of wood, which was actual a piece in Yoko's exhibit. Yoko stopped him; she had never heard of The Beatles. She offered to let him hammer the nail for five shillings. John made a famous counter offer. “Well, I'll give you an imaginary five shillings and hammer an imaginary nail in.”
“That's when we really met,” Lennon said. “That's when we locked eyes and she got it and I got it, and, as they say in all the interviews we do, the rest is history.”
John and Yoko began seeing each other while John was still married. Yoko called John at home, and he began making excuses to his wife. Then in May 1968 while his wife was on vacation, John invited Yoko to visit. John's wife, Cynthia, returned from her trip to find Yoko wearing her bathrobe drinking tea with John.
John soon divorced Cynitha and married Yoko in March 1969. They lived together through The Beatles' breakup writing music and promoting pacifist campaigns. They were intensely in love. “Before Yoko and I met, we were half a person.... But we are two halves, and together we're a whole.”
Eventually after living for years under intense public spotlight John and Yoko's relationship was strained. They separated in 1973 but remained in constant communication until they reunited two years later. Their son Sean was born shortly after, and John retired from music to care for him. John was murdered outside their apartment in 1980.

The Porthcawl Elvis festival is the biggest of its kind in Europe and every year brings in thousands of tourists dressed as Elvis Presley.
Annie Oakley was raised in Darke County, Ohio. Known throughout the area as a tomboy, she was an impressive talent with the rifle. In 1881, the Baughman and Butler shooting act arrived in Cincinnati. Frank Butler, who was the star of their show, exclaimed that he could beat any local marksman.
When Butler was told that he had been challenged by a young lady he found it amusing and accepted. Annie won the challenge as well as Butler's heart. They were married in 1882.
The couple was married for 44 years until Annie died in 1962. Frank, heart-broken, followed her to the grave only 18 days after her death.
Amelia Earhart was already an accomplished pilot when she met George Putnam, having accumulated over 500 hours of solo flight time. He interviewed her for a transatlantic flight on which she was a passenger, four years before her famous 1932 solo flight across the Atlantic. George was a famous New York publicist and explorer, and the two had many interests in common. They hiked, camped, rode horses, and played golf and tennis together.
George had to propose to Amelia six times before she accepted. After a good deal of hesitation, Amelia and George were married in early 1931. Amelia wrote of their relationship, “[o]urs is a reasonable and contented partnership; my husband with his solo jobs, and I with mine; but the system of dual control works satisfactorily and our work and our play is a great deal together.”
Amelia continued her aviation career after marriage under her maiden name, and George organized her appearances and publicity to fund her flights. She promoted flight luggage and sports clothes, and George published two of her books, The Fun of It and Last Flight.
Amelia disappeared during an around-the-world flight in 1937. While flying on one of the final segments of her globe-spanning journey, radio controllers lost contact with Amelia's plane. She was low on fuel, flying low and searching for a place to land in the Pacific ocean, midway between Hawaii and Australia. Despite an extensive and expensive naval search, no evidence of Amelia or her plane was found. Two years later, George had her declared dead and published her biography, Soaring Wings.
So, the new version of iPhoto has some sort of facial recognition feature. When you first install it, it scans your library for faces.
And by faces, it means *everything*. This face (Queen Elizabeth II) is from a picture I took of the New Zealand $20 dollar bill.
Lauren Bacal and Humphrey Bogart met on the set of "To Have and Have Not" (1944). Upon meeting her, Bogie told Lauren, “I saw your test. We're going to have a lot of fun together.”
And they did. Although separated by 26 years, the electricity between them was obvious, and Lauren's hard work ethic matched Humphrey's experienced confidence. Making light of her age, Humphrey nicknamed Lauren 'Baby,' a name he continued to call her by for years. Humphrey was unhappily married when they met and could only meet Lauren discreetly, exchanging passionate love letters while they were apart. Their attraction to each other grew almost imperceptibly, as they worked together onstage. But the more they worked together, the more their on-set romance became authentic.
Their relationship started, by Lauren's account, when she was in her dressing room with Humphrey. He leaned over, put his hand under her chin, and kissed her. Pulling a matchbook from his pocket, he then asked for her number.
After a long and tumultuous break-up, Humphrey divorced his wife in 1945. Bacal waited for Bogey during his attempts to save his marriage--her patience was rewarded. They were married in the spring of 1945. They had a happy marriage and two children, Stephen and Leslie. They remained together until Bogey's death in 1957.
Buried with him is a small gold whistle, which Bogart had given to Bacall, before they married. In reference to their first movie together, it was inscribed: "If you want anything, just whistle."
In order to check in at the Chinese hotel, guests were required to scan face after copying page first page of passport.
Elizabeth injured her spine in 1821 as a result of a fall and seemingly became a permanent invalid. She spent the majority of her days pent up in her room writing poetry. In 1844, Robert Browning wrote to Elizabeth admiring her poems. They continued to correspond and in 1845 they were engaged.
Although Elizabeth's father didn't approve of the engagement she decided to wed Robert. The couple ran away to Italy where her health improved slightly. She spent the remainder of her days in their villa, Casa Guidi. After she passed away in 1861 her son and husband returned to England.
Bonnie and Clyde first met briefly in early 1930 and were immediately smitten by each other. When Clyde got out of jail in 1932, Bonnie joined his gang and became his partner in crime. She remained his loyal companion during the rest of their two-year crime spree.
Preferring to rob small groceries and gas-stations, Bonnie and Clyde's national bank-robbing notoriety developed out of playful photographs the couple had taken at a hideout, one of Bonnie posing with a cigar and revolver. The good-looking couple were small-time thieves until those photographs were published, catapulting them into the public spotlight as raucous criminal superstars.
The couple was killed by police in 1934. A posse of six officers had been tracking Bonnie and Clyde's movements and set up an ambush along a rural road in Louisiana. As the outlaw couple stopped to talk to a man planted by the police along the side of the road, the posse opened fire, killing Bonnie and Clyde.
Over 20,000 people attended Bonnie's funeral. Bonnie and Clyde were some of the first celebrity criminals of the modern era: their romantic notoriety spawned countless detective stories, several Hollywood movies, many songs and a few stage plays. Bonnie and Clyde, a 1967 film featuring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, won two Academy Awards and reignited interest in the duo. A 2011 film revisiting the couple's crime spree is in the works.
I've been fooling around with the facial recognition feature in iPhoto 3, which can sometimes produce amusing results.

Pierre and Marie met in Paris, France in 1894 at the School of Physics, where Pierre held a job as a Professor. They fell in love quickly, just one year later they were married.
The couple shared a passion for physics and spent a majority of their time together conducting research and pursuing work in the laboratory. Their days spent researching were under very difficult conditions but their work paid off. Together they were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903, for their study into the spontaneous radiation discovered by Becquerel.
After Pierre tragically passed away in 1906, Marie took his place as Professor of General Physics in the Faculty of Sciences. She continued to pursue each of the dreams they had spent years working on together.
Coretta and Martin Luther King Jr. seemed destined for each other. As a college music student in Ohio, Coretta experienced a great deal of discrimination by the local school board. She became politically active in the beginnings of the civil rights movement, and met Martin when she transferred to the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston.
Martin was a promising theology student at the time and was introduced to Coretta through a friend in 1952. Martin was impressed by her musical ability, as well as her passion for civil rights. On their first date, Martin said, “[s]o you can do something else besides sing? You've got a good mind also. You have everything I ever wanted in a woman. We ought to get married someday.”
And they did, in June 1953 on the law of Coretta's mother's house in Marion, Alabama. The ceremony was performed by Martin's father, Martin Luther King Sr.. After Coretta completed her degree in voice and piano the couple moved to Montgomery, Alabama where they were swept up in the civil rights movement.
Martin soon became the recognizable face of the movement, and Coretta quickly was in demand as a speaker and march leader. However their bright future was overshadowed by violence and hate when their family home was unsuccessfully bombed by white supremacists in 1956. Coretta and Martin had four children, all of whom eventually became involved in civil rights.
Martin was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4, 1968. President Johnson declared a national day of mourning as 300,000 people attended his funeral. Coretta decided to take the helm of the civil rights movement shortly afterwards, and expanded its focus to include LGBT and women's rights. She died in early 2006 and was eventually interred next to her husband. Four U.S. Presidents went to her funeral.
Janet and Isaac met in 1973 several months after Isaac separated from his first wife. They were married shortly after.
The couple shared the same interest in science fiction and even collaborated on a number of books together. They spent almost 20 years together before Isaac passed away in 1992.

This is so much fun, although I don't see the resemblence my self.

"Devorah Sperber uses hundreds, sometimes thousands, of thread spools as her medium and bases her works on the most recognizable images from the past, icons of art such as Grant Wood’s American Gothic and Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa"
www.arkellmuseum.org/pdfs/press_thenow.pdf
It hangs upside down and you view it through an optical device. (read below)
Description: a life-sized rendering of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. The work is constructed from only 425 spools of thread resulting in extremely low image resolution. Yet when seen with an optical device, the thread spools condense into a blurred yet recognizable image, conveying how little information the brain needs to make sense of visual imagery.
This concept was explored by self-described "Cyberneticist," Leon Harmon of Bell Labs in 1973. His early pixilated image was included in an article for Scientific American in November 1973, titled "The Recognition of Faces" as a demonstration of the minimum conditions needed to recognize a face.
