Does it even work, when half the country still wear masks?
- sithadmin 4y agoWearing a mask doesn't preclude functional facial recognition. There's plenty of data above the mask, and recognition systems are increasingly good at working around mask obstruction. Also, mask wearing doesn't do anything for other widely applied approaches such as gait analysis, which is fairly common in areas with a national security concern at play, or a lot of money at stake (particular elements of the financial services industry; casinos, etc.).
- azemetre 4y agoYes, one of the most accurate ways to recognize someone is by their gait (how your body moves when walking). https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/footstep-sensors-identify-people-by-gait/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/footstep-sensors-... It's basically your unconscious "finger print."

- pessimizer 4y agoWhy wouldn't the software simply flag everyone doing that?
- aaaaaaaaata 4y ago"Can't flag us all."
- azemetre 4y agoPotentially but something that might be easier is to put a pebble in your shoe or change the soles of your shoes as well. Similar to how certain makeup patterns can hurt facial recognition.
