Anonymity does not save: AI has learned to recognize people, hiding his face
By Prempal Singh
Scientists continue to actively improve the artificial intelligence and teach him new tricks. For example, a team of researchers from the US and India have developed a neural network capable of once and for all to deprive any member of anonymity sorts of uprisings, demonstrations and protests, hiding their faces behind scarves, Balaklava and other clothing items. In the future absconding person who violates the law, hoping to stay at the same anonymous, will be much more difficult.
This system is based on the recognition of 14 separate points on the face, and measuring the distance therebetween. On the basis of the measurements obtained is unique to every individual design, which allows to recognize it even when it is partially hiding his face behind his glasses, beard, scarf or mask. For learning artificial intelligence researchers have used more than 2,000 images on which were depicted as individuals and groups of people. To date, the system is able to successfully recognize people in 56% of cases, but the results of her work have been gradually improving as learning.
Yes, the technology is still far from ideal. Nevertheless, a start, and already lurking on the other side of the dark glasses or masks will be much more difficult in the coming years than ever before. Developed by scientists at Cambridge University and the National Institute of Technology Warangal city’s artificial intelligence will be presented to the public within the framework of International Conference Conference on Computer Vision Workshops 2017, which will open its doors at the end of October this year. The results of their work, researchers have published on the web and read them can be anyone.
