Does anyone know of ways to combat these systems, something like a special pattern that makes it hard to read. China is leading the way in facial recognition, and I'd be surprised if there aren't any countermeasures available.
- xnyan 7y agoIt depends on the scenario. If all you’re trying is stop it from working, the article says it’s IR based so jamming the sensor (the camera) with a lot of IR radiation can work quite nicely. Individually you could do this with bright IR emitting LEDs. On the scale of the battlefield, a cool trick that is already being done today on yachts of the rich and private is using a laser to shine a lot of light directly on the CMOS (sensor element) of the capturing device when the shutter opens. These methods work but they don’t hide what they’re doing (jamming). It would be instantly obvious as to what you were doing which would be OK on the battlefield if you’re not trying to hide your position, not so much in China.
