"Adam Harvey, a designer and technologist with NYU's Interactive
Telecommunications Program, has begun reverse-engineering algorithms
behind face detection. He generated a series of blocky images that
could become the "building blocks of anti-surveillance makeup," and
focused on the simplest yet most important patterns for foiling the
face-recognition tech.
Some patterns that successfully hid faces from detection are
surprisingly small, Harvey notes. Those included a few patches
scattered primarily around the eye region, whereas larger beard-like
patterns sometimes ended up being detected."


Jaz might be onto something?
