April 13, 2010: Hiding Faces

Big Brother is everywhere.
With modern technology, he can have machines watch you with the unblinking eye, 24/7.
But unlike humans, the machine has to identify where your face is, in order to compare it to data base.

Adam Harvey's Blog shows this test of the machine's ability to find faces that are painted.



Quote:
Images with a red square tested positive, a face was found
Images without a red square tested negative, no face was found
Images under the section “TEST PATTERNS” are made according to results of the Haar deconstruction
Images under “RANDOM PATTERNS” are random doodles made without the anti-face detection patterns in mind
Images underneath the “NO PATTERNS” heading are left untouched to show that the face detection works well on simple line drawings
So maybe KISS was just paranoid.
