Psychedelic stickers that interfere with AI image recognition

Unless things have changed. This shouldn't affect face recognition systems. Facial recognition systems look for 2 things.

1. They look for the general shape of the face

2. They look for a skin region and classify it based on shape.

From the segment, then it becomes a complex search problem to match the face to a known face.

I'm guessing the opportunity here is to disrupt the face detection step - make the face detector zero in on your non-face sticker/image, so the face recogniser never gets passed an actual face.

Face detectors generally check the whole image for faces, outputting everything above a threshold, so as long as a face is present, it's getting detected.

I would suggest that you disrupt the face's shape or wear some kind facepaint to avoid the skin dection part.
