Report Copyright Violation | Anti surveillance camouflage for your face. Computer Vision dazzle keeps facial-recognition algorithms from seeing a face. This is ugly. Very ugly. You can google it and find some freaky looks. But if you ever need to evade cameras, at least there is a way. I'm not sure with all the masks today if it even matters, but fwiw. [ link to www.theatlantic.com (secure)] I had slathered the paint on my face in order to hide from computers. The patterns in which I applied the paint were important: To the pixel-calculating machinations of facial recognition algorithms, they transformed my face into a mess of unremarkable pixels. In the computer’s vision, my face caused a momentary burst of confusion.
That’s why the patterns are called computer vision dazzle (or CV dazzle). When it works, CV dazzle keeps facial-recognition algorithms from seeing a face.
....There was a certain art to it: Black and white face paint seemed to confound the programs better than blue and white paint did, perhaps because it was darker. Bangs had to not just drape but dangle, so as to hide the nose bridge and at least one eye. Using the facial recognition algorithm in my iPhone as a guide—in camera mode, it imposes a yellow box over whatever it thinks is a face—I successfully camouflaged my face only three of the five times I tried it. When I had a beard, I never succeeded. |
