It’s not as if there weren’t already enough cameras in the U.K.  Now there’s word of an interesting one under development: The camera detects changes in blood flow and expression when a subject is lying. Yikes!

Developed by Hassan Ugail of Bradford University, along with researchers at Aberystwyth University and the U.K. Border Agency, the camera detects lying in about two-thirds of subjects studied. The camera uses a combination of a commercial video camera, a thermal camera, and algorithms to process cues such as eye movement, heavy breathing, and more “subtle” tells such as swollen blood vessels around the eyes.

Ugail says the system can be improved to a 90 percent accuracy, a higher rate than that of polygraphs.
