I'm a researcher at a face recognition company. A big pair of dark sunglasses still does a pretty good job of obscuring your identity (although obviously not as good as a mask). Adding a hat with a brim pulled low helps out even more.
- therobot24 11y agoDon't forget that NIR cameras (often used for iris recognition) can still see through those glasses. But i agree, stuff similar to the challenges in the AR face dataset [1] will usually stump most employed systems.

- drpgq 11y agoTrue although the commercial deployment of NIR face recognition isn't that extensive (I'm not saying it doesn't exist however). I know for our company's software that academics have been trying to use it with NIR images even though our software wasn't trained at all for it. I do think that NIR will eventually become more important (especially for car applications) and really the main stumbling block is massive sets of training data for it.
- therobot24 11y agoYea the NIR wavelength makes the skin lose a lot of discrimination ability. Don't know how familiar you are with the FOCS, SCFace, or PolyU datasets, but they're a good start for training (of course very few papers use them, they'd rather gain an extra 0.1% on LFW).
