There is a weak component to facial recognition systems that can be exploited to make one invisible to facial recognition, but you stick out like a sore thumb to people. The exploit is to not have a human face, meaning the regular pattern of two eyes centered above a nose and mouth. The exploit is as simple as placing a sticker of a 3rd eye, a 2nd nose, or any other facial feature that is "not human" and you will be invisible to facial recognition. The reason this works is because the initial test for finding faces in images is a weak test, it has to be fast because it has to evaluate every possible rectangle in a video frame. That test is looking for the regular human pattern of a human face, and it that test passes that rectangle get more investigation. Failing that initial test, that rectangle is invisible...

Anyone else think of "A Scanner Darkly" movie with the interpolate mask that transitions between different faces as the means for better Adversarial Fashion?

Wouldn't one be able to use a hyper real mask to create false evident to frame someone? People are so blind in trusting AI that innocent people are being left in jail were primitive detective work would prove they were not he culprit. [0]

I hope designs like this become easier to purchase soon. It'd be fun to experiment with cameras I've got access to and I'd totally wear it out places on the weekend.

Totally get that it's a cat-and-mouse thing, but I don't mind making more work for the people trying to force this on us all.

Face detection on the example images immediately focused on the right part and after that recognition becomes much easier when you crop out the rest. Not convinced. It’s a cool gimmick though. I like the MARPATish look of the black and white one.

The most effective socially acceptable mechanism is a burqa or COVID mask or motorcycle helmet sock.

Are Juggalos still undefeated? [1]

just like cvdazzle before it, this is bound to do bugger all one model into the future, and in the meantime you'd still really want to stick a pebble in one shoe and wear platforms or something to mess with gait analysis

you should read this less as convincingly adversarial fashion and more fashion inspired by the vague concept of computer-vision-aided surveillance, which, mind you, is still pretty rad, just more vogue material, less ieee spectrum material

These garments need to function in both visible and infrared environments as cameras use both. Otherwise these are not serious.

I don’t know how effective these are but it’s kinda not the point to me, the point of the clothing is a loud statement saying “I’m not okay with being surveilled all the time it’s normal and okay to to feel that way”

Works for cars, too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znaA091_8-M

I'm pretty sure adversarial fashion hoodies are something you would only wear if your aim was to stand out. Porch thieves just pull their cap low and look at the ground while nicking your package.

Nah these designs can never proliferate very far because you can EASILY train AI to recognize the difference between these patterns and an actual face.

You need to make a hoodie covered with actual size faces. That will fool the AI and will be harder to account for. Use AI itself to generate these faces so every hoodie has unique faces. Then imagine everyone in a crowd wearing this.

Boom. THAT will fool AI for long time. But let's not fool ourselves... AI can eventually even be trained to recognize this. But it buys us a bit more time before the end.

This seems Like something that happens every 6 months or so. Maybe fashion isn’t really protest?

There is a lot irony in using AI to generate adversarial examples for AI object segmentation.

i dont think this works but i do think the patterns look really cool. its like a hawaiian shirt but worse. im lowk obsessed i lowk will be purchasing once i have the funds.

> statement logged. standing by.

Finally, I can blend in.

Excellent, this will allow me to disappear completely!
