Anonymous video analytics(AVA) describes a type of technology that collects video images using camera sensors(often, but not always embedded in digital displays) to detect the presence of a human face. It then derives limited demographic and behavioural data about viewers... using facial pattern comparison algorithms... this normally occurs without identifying an individual, generating any type of face-based signature, or otherwise generating information that could be associated with an identifiable natural person... 2, record 2, English, - anonymous%20video%20analytics
