How long till "excessive facial makup and/or unkempt hair in public" becomes a crime?
http://boingboing.net/2012/01/05/dazzle-makeup-and-hairstyles-t.html CV Dazzle is a systematic approach to creating "dazzle" makeup and hair effects that fool computer vision systems. For example, you could change the symmetry of your face by painting a lightning bolt across it, causing all computer vision systems to mistakenly identify you as David Bowie. http://cvdazzle.com/ |

It has been illegal for almost a hundred years in tx to wear a mask in public. I don't doubt the do-gooders would make "face altering makeup" a crime, too. |
|
|
Right, crazy hair and splotches of paint on your face totally don't stand out in a crowd.
|
|
there are baseball caps and glass with small IR LEDs aimed down over the face. the light is invisible to the naked eye but all cameras see is a white blob of light over the face...
|
|
I thought I heard that a big smile caused facial recognition software to take a dump.

Members of al Qaeda and run-of-the-mill street criminals all thank you for this information.

i plan to wear a penguin mask and run around naked. People will just mistake you for Aimless. |

Quoted: facial recognition does not work in the first place. Sure. You go ahead and believe that. Independent national level tests have proven otherwise. I have looked at the data, the systems and the test protocols. How about you? What is your experience? |

Quoted: there are baseball caps and glass with small IR LEDs aimed down over the face. the light is invisible to the naked eye but all cameras see is a white blob of light over the face... I thought this was about automated facial recognition? You seem to be referring to street surveillance systems. |

Well, if the camera can't render an image of your face, how would the facial recognition system that relies on the camera be able to do its job? |

I dont know if paint would do it, dont these systems work off distances between facial features? eyebrows to nose, nose iris, iris to iris, iris to mouth. things that CANT change unless you flex, and then take a wide selection of data points indicating yes or no and say this person has a 99% chance of being X person from database we built using data previously collected. The IR thing sounds interesting,

What causes you to think that the suggested technique would render the image of the target face unusable? Because the author said so? Ask the person who wrote that what his experience is with facial recognitions systems. My guess is that he will say that he "read it on the Internet somewhere". |

Last time I checked Al Qaeda was best known for their suicide attacks, kind makes hiding your face irrelevant. Heck most of the time they video their own attacks and post them to the web. I'm guessing this isn't something they would loose any sleep over. And I don't know if you have much experience when dealing with run of the mill street criminals, but more often than not, they are fucking stupid. I don't mean just slow but real honest to God morons. And they are usually lazy as all hell. I have a hard time picturing any of the ones I have known getting special hates and elaborate setups to fool the cameras. |

I'm certainly no expert, but I have seen what an IR light will do to video that is rendered for viewing by people. Are you saying that the information necessary for facial recognition systems to do its thing is still captured by the camera despite the IR? |

I was also under the impression that the IR LEDs would cause the facial image to be un readable.

Quoted:
Isn't IR light dangerous to your vision? I don't think that it is, but again, I'm no expert. I do know that the right wave lengths of UV are dangerous. |
|
Quoted:
Isn't IR light dangerous to your vision? Ultraviolet is. IR, isn't, to my recollection. |
|
Older software requires the eye location and distance between them measurable. Estimation can be conducted for sunglasses depending upon the quality of the photo.
Dunno about the newer stuff, budget won't allow upgrading. |

Quoted:
this is what wearing a couple of small IR LEDs will look like to a camera... http://hackedgadgets.com/wp-content/2/_IR_LED_Blocks_Security_Camera.jpg That is an IR camera. It won't work for any camera with IR or UV filters which is pretty much all of them. Most cameras don't have night vision capability. |
|
Exactly what is the point about facial recognition software anyway? For three shifts, they are going to have to hire 930,000,000 employees to keep tabs on everybody. Then of course, more people to keep tabs on the new employees.

Very intense lower wavelength light can be especially harmful because you can't see it, so you won't have a blink response while it's burning your retina. |

If you really want to break the algorithms instead of just camera detection, you'll need to apply some serious countershading and change the profile of the eye-nose bridge.
Make the eye sockets, lower surfaces of the lips and underside of the nose bright, bring down the brightness of the forehead, cheekbones, nose, upper lip and upper chin, change the profiles and the algorithm will have a much harder time making out exactly who you are. |

White in the eye sockets and the downward-facing planes of the face, darker skin tones on the upward facing and brighter areas, all of that on top of silicone prosthetics to change the actual topology. It can be done, but it's getting into Mission Impossible territory. |
