So…how can you protect your privacy from the surveillance cameras that seem to be everywhere?

First, you need to understand how the technology works.

There are certain points on the face that are targeted by the software: particularly eyes, nose, and mouth; where they meet, and the distance between them.

The trick is to obscure these points without drawing undue attention to yourself through your efforts to camouflage them.

Black geometric shapes painted on the face seem to “fool” the devices into not recognizing the photo as a human face.

However, it isn’t exactly subtle to walk around with black triangles and squares painted randomly on one’s face.

One researcher from NYU, Adam Harvey, has been working on reverse engineering the technology in order to protect privacy. In the photo below, the faces with the red squares around them were identifiable by the software.

The places you want to obscure are:

  • Distance between the eyes
  • Width of the nose
  • Depth of the eye sockets
  • The shape of the cheekbones
  • The length of the jaw line

“A spike of hair proved to be effective if it covered the area where the eyes, forehead and nose come together. Computer-vision software often looks for that spot, said Harvey, and will not detect a face without it. “(source)

Hats, hoodies and big sunglasses can help obscure some of the targeted facial areas but can also make you look suspicious, especially if the weather conditions don’t support the wearing of those items.

The “hacktivist” group Anonymous offers some suggestions too.  The video below outlines a simple hat with LED lights that are invisible to people around you but complete obscure the face of the wearer.
