It seems that there are surveillance cameras everywhere. Some social networking sites such as Facebook (which I refuse to use BTW) run facial recognition algorithms on photos posted by users. My iPhone can recognize faces with its camera, and some digital cameras like my Sony A6000 have a facial recognition mode where the camera focuses on faces.
While this is interesting to a geek like myself, it raises a question. How would one hide in plain sight from these robots? One thought is a burka, but today this would likely tag the wearer as a high risk target. And it’s female only.
The gender independent answer is CV dazzle. CV = computer vision. This is a strange style of makeup and hairstyle that computer facial recognition decides is not a human face.
