Defeat facial recognition
- timClicks 15y agoOne problem with this approach is that it would be relatively easy to train classifiers that are looking for people who are attempting to avoid detection.
- jonmrodriguez 15y agoThe site seems to advocate that people use this as a opportunity for self-expression, which would hopefully cause there to be such diverse designs that the best you could do is train classifiers for specific high-profile individual people. Even then, those targeted individuals could just use a new, randomly generated dazzle every day.
- markkat 15y agoWouldn't a surgical mask and sunglasses do the same with less work? They have designer masks and sunglasses.
- jlogsdon 15y agoMost likely, but they partnered with a (what looks like) fashion magazine for the images.
- fomojola 15y agoThey would, but you'd be a bit more obvious: walking around with a surgical mask isn't really discreet.
- waterlesscloud 15y agoYou'd have to assume normal sunglasses are factored into current classifiers. However, sunglasses coated in dazzle-style patterns...
- bartl 15y agoFrom the article: - Sunglasses, for example, are a known occlusion which some algorithms account for. - wearing masks in public can be illegal.
- Drbble 15y agoWearing a centurion nosebridge cover can quickly become a known occlusion too. Dazzle is a short term fix.
- mouhtasi 15y agoWhile this can evade detection using full-facial classifiers, it's not difficult to detect individual facial features. If you can detect the eyes, nose, and mouth, and have them in a region in an orientation matching a face, you could assume that it's probably a face. While it is less efficient it's still a possibility.
- bartl 15y ago>If you can detect the eyes, nose, and mouth, and have them in a region in an orientation matching a face, you could assume that it's probably a face. Or a car.
- Permit 15y agoSeems like they not only defeat computer facial recognition, but human facial recognition as well.
- StavrosK 15y agoHow else would it work? What would make thing A be able to recognize a face and thing B inherently not? Computers can (and probably will) become as good (or better) as people at recognizing faces.
- xfhai 15y agoWear highly reflective object like a diamond on the face, preferably on the forehead. It will project light to the camera and create random pattern on the face. What do you think?
- slowpoke 15y agoA reflective eye-patch would be a nice idea. Are the materials which interfere with cameras but are not too annoying to other people?
- gansai 15y agothis is like captcha with faces though.. good idea.
- jdhopeunique 15y agoIt might be worthwhile to consider that detecting a face and finding the identity of a face are not the same. From the "Eigenface" article on wikipedia, "The pictures constituting the training set should have been taken under the same lighting conditions, and must be normalized to have the eyes and mouths aligned across all images." I would be curious to see how well face identification works with various milder forms of camouflage.
