haha i didnt tell her that yet, she is only 10 :D

It's debatable how effective this is but CV Dazzle may just become a trend for youth. I'd support that but I'd expect to start seeing schools and commercial areas ban such practices.

thanks for the link! i immediately tried it https://github.com/jackdoe/programming-for-kids/blob/master/...

its a screenshot of detecting me despite the paint, and i tried whole bunch of colors and etc to trick it that my eyes are not where they are, and it did not work, I think it was easier in 2014, seems you really need to hide your eyes now, and its gonna be quite annoying for bald people like me haha

anyway, i updated the book as well, with the link

thanks!

It's not debatable. It's ineffective.

I saw other reports of people who wear full face scarves or stickers of noses and eyes, are there better techniques that work?

This article was precovid

Covid masking with sunglasses and a cap make someone effectively anonymous.

Masks are a big finger to the NSA.

keep in mind mask alone is not enough

and glasses + mask as well

and this is https://github.com/ageitgey/face_recognition completely out of the box, no tuning or anything, just copy pasted the example

You really need huge sample sets for this stuff to apply in the real world. We started using fingerprints because of how hard it can be to tell people apart.

Start talking 100 million faces + public cameras and it’s difficult. Where AI really stands out it having a specific face and looking for that in days of video footage. But, even then you want to train for false positives.

Pretty incredible for 10 year old to make such projects and to then apply to the world around her! You must be so proud :)

you have no idea :)
