Public: Law Enforcement: Identification
Buttock-recognition Cameras   (+1, -1)  [vote for, against]

As we all know, buttocks vary, so I am suggesting a nationwide camera system for buttock-recognition.

The downside is software would have to be pretty smart, as crims might put stuff down their trousers to alter the buttock signature.

The upside is - by applying haptic(?) technology to all seats on public transport it would easier to track offenders, or at least mean they to stand up for the full journey.

As a double-check, buttock identity parades might be used in police stations so victims can try and identify the perpetrator.

How could you think that arse-recognition technology hadn't alrready been done somewhere in the Halfbakery archives? Intelligent_20Toilet_20Seat

Buttock recognition camera my arse.

It's a specialised area of image analysis ...

It's certainly a cheeky little gadget.

The latest Samsung phone uses ultrasound to recognise fingerprints. Put this technology in seats to recognise arses with the added bonus that some medical conditions might be diagnosed.

There'd be piles of benefits in that case ...

I would have called this idea: Arseography

Having done possibly the most desultory trawl through here I would say the first fundament idea was "alx, Jun 19 200-something". This was followed by a outbreak in 2005 Mar 22 (csea,normzone, theircompetitor), then FlyingToaster in Sep 30 2008.

^Consider "Buttock-recognition Cameras " a homage..standing on the buttocks of giants and all that.

NB I just found out the Yokohama Poop museum has been revamped. "Visitors during the first three days of the museum opening will receive a special gift (although we’re nervous about what that could be considering the theme)" . Link

Fishbone from me. This idea would completely undermine trust in my own Buttock Massage idea.
