A 'perfection tool' that will let Big Brother track you everywhere It's a frequent scene in television crime dramas: clever police technicians zoom in on a security camera video to read a license plate or capture the face of a hold-up artist. But in real life, enhancing low-quality video has not been an easy task -- until now. Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a new video perfection tool that can see what the naked eye cannot in either live or recorded video, in either color or black-and-white. "This enhancement of resolution can be a critical factor in locating terrorists or identifying criminal suspects," says Prof. Yaroslavsky.

The millions of security video cameras being installed are on the verge of being able to track you everywhere you go. Do you really want to live in a Big Brother state?
