• CV Dazzle: Open-Source Camouflage From Computer Vision by Adam Harvey

  tags: camouflage cvdazzle

  • CV Dazzle is an antagonistic technology. It opposes the mainstream push towards the widespread adoption of face recognition. Several studies have proven that it's now easily possible to identify people in public using an image of someone's face and social network data (see "Anonymous no more" for one example). Of course, this is just a preview. Facial recognition is the fastest growing biometric technology (source). Rather than embracing a dystopian view of the future, the objective of CV Dazzle is to provide an alternative anti-technology to adapt to our new environment.
