[quote]I should step back. I had slathered the paint on my face in order to hide from computers. The patterns in which I applied the paint were important: To the pixel-calculating machinations of facial recognition algorithms, they transformed my face into a mess of unremarkable pixels. In the computer’s vision, my face caused a momentary burst of confusion.
That’s why the patterns are called computer vision dazzle (or CV dazzle). When it works, CV dazzle keeps facial-recognition algorithms from seeing a face. The technique takes its name from the dazzle camouflage of the two World Wars: The Great Power navies sought to protect their ships not by hiding them among the waves but by obscuring their size and movement. CV dazzle was developed by the artist, designer, and entrepreneur, Adam Harvey, who created the patterns as a student at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program.[/quote]

I can't even see the patterns because of those ridiculous hairstyles, except for the last one
how to catch somebody avoiding surveillance using this camoflauge: identify the one twat who is walking around with this shit on their face
So dress like a retarded hipster to hide your face, got it.
Fucking FINALLY, a way to hide from the police state AND look like my favorite deus ex characters X^)

And i just wanted to say that it looks like taken straight out of Deus Ex
I'd still say bandanas/balaclavas are more feasible if we'll end up in a point where such means are necessary.
For real though, I'm not sure dazzle paint on your face would do anything other than make you look like you put dazzle paint on your face.
The problem with these is that the software will be updated to read trough these. Love the guy with the actual pixels painted on his face though
Another quality anti-surveillance technique

I get the feeling that conventional camouflage would also work pretty well.

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;45487620]For real though, I'm not sure dazzle paint on your face would do anything other than make you look like you put dazzle paint on your face.[/QUOTE]It wouldn't, all but the most simplest of setups can see past even the most garish of facepaint and hairstyles. It gets even better; the people who created CV Dazzle tested it on Facebook's phototagger, nothing else.
Plus in the ~authoritarian~ Watch_Dogs future where this would apply they'd just arrest you for purposefully avoiding the technology.
I mean, at least wear a balaclava so you can have plausible deniability.

i think it's more to do in riots and stuff where things are hectic. but people are still identifiable not every day use
A fake nose/cheeks would probably also work. And most people wouldn't notice if you were decent at makeup.

if you're in riots and stuff and you want to hide your identity a balaclava will take you much further than some black and white paint on your cheeks
[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;45487711]"Sorry officer, I can't show my face to the camera, I'm cosplaying a bank robber"[/QUOTE]
still a better excuse than 'i painted my face like a zebra fetus'
Wow my watch dogeis is becoming realer !
Walk around wearing this instead.

Cameras can't identify you AND you look like any other hipster.
I used to have a baseball cap with high intensity IR LED's pointing outwards and upwards from the brim at all angles, so my face would just be a white intense blur that would blow out the white balance in most digital security cameras.

Yeh the top of the range facial recognition software is already aware of all the usual 'tricks' and the cameras have been made specifically to counter that, putting IR paint on your face (or on your cars license plate) was used years ago so the cameras sensor was changed for one that doesn't respond to the specific frequencies of light that IR paint uses.
Also I'm pretty sure that if the camera detects a human 'shape' moving but is unable to get a match that it gets forwarded to a person to check out and it'll make it look like your trying to hide something, basically it's more trouble than it's worth really

Oh my god can someone please buy this title for me?
I wouldn't want to be caught on camera looking like that either.
I thought it was illegal to hide your face in public though?

How are Burqas allowed?

You fucking laugh now, we'll see who's laughing when NSA starts installing buttplug GPS trackers into everyone in 2020.
Reminded me of this
