Current facial-recognition technology is based primarily on the work of Paul Viola and Michael Jones, who achieved a major breakthrough in 2001 when they developed an algorithm that could detect ...

Face detection software has slowly crept into mainstream use, ... New face detection algorithm registers even partially hidden faces By David Nield. February 18, 2015 Facebook; ...

Face masks are breaking some of the most commonly used facial recognition algorithms, according to a new study from US government agency NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology).

Back in 2001, two computer scientists, Paul Viola and Michael Jones, triggered a revolution in the field of computer face detection. After years of stagnation, their breakthrough was an algorithm ...

Their algorithm makes tiny changes to images, which are barely visible to humans, but which make the faces in the images unrecognizable to current face recognition algorithms. The image on the ...

“An ultimate face recognition algorithm should perform with billions of people in a dataset,” the researchers wrote. About the Author. Adrienne LaFrance. Follow.

Nonetheless, given the high similarities across face recognition algorithms, he thinks it’s likely that the attack would work even on the actual airport system. How GANs work.
