Facial-recognition algorithms rely on the identification and spatial relationship of key facial features, like symmetry and tonal contours. Therefore, many people use fashion as camouflage to beat facial recognition, such as an event held by The Dazzle Club. This research protocol focuses on the method of anti-facial recognition based on Instagram users and shows the key positions they cover mostly on face in order to fight facial recognition.
Main Findings
The most common ways humans use to revolt against the facial recognition system are makeup and face-mask.
The style of mask and accessory are kind of monotonous - more than half of them cover the whole face, and the rest only cover the upper portion of the face.
The key positions where people do make-up mostly are Mid-Forehead, EyebrowMid and Orbital-Lower, which all belong to the upper portion of the face.
