Foiling Facial Recognition, Fighting Coaster Viruses, Harlan Ellison-Style
This might be the answer to Harlan Ellison's literary dilemma implied in his famous 1967 story I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream.
You can choose your sticker at the entrance gate, but each customer can only get one sticker, so choose carefully! And choose quickly, because stickers are only available while stocks last. So which sticker most resembles your screaming mouth? Is it the “cool, stylish American Comic book” scream? Or the “screaming with joy and having fun” scream? For those with good oral hygiene, perhaps the ‘Nice Teeth’ scream for those who “brush their teeth three times a day without fail” is for you.
I'm interested in the idea of using some kind of camouflage to foil facial recognition technology. Take a look at these stories:
- Camouflage To Confound Face Recognition
CV Dazzle is a open source attempt to thwart computerized face recognition using a combination of makeup and hair styling. - Adversarial Pattern Shirts Confound Object Detection Systems
It turns out, confounding software into not realizing what it's looking at is a matter of fooling several different smaller systems at once. - Project KOVR Fashion Protection From Infosphere
Project KOVR is protecting you from the infosphere. It does so by using metalliferous fabrics... - Face Recognition Now Sees Through Disguises
A face recognition system has just been developed that can actually see through disguises.
