Fake glasses fool face recognition software

摘要

Face recognition systems have been duped using the oldest trick in the book: a pair of fake glasses. By printing bespoke patterns on the frames, a team from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, enabled wearers not only to obscure their identity but also impersonate people who look completely different. A white man wearing the glasses, for example, was able to pass for Hollywood star Milla Jovovich-in the eyes of the algorithms. The glasses, presented at a computer conference in Vienna, Austria, last month, work by duping the neural networks used in face recognition systems.
