The Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity hopes the organization’s new Face Recognition Prize Challenge will help them move the needle on biometric security.

Meet the new face-detection algorithm that will change image search If you don’t want this algorithm to identify you, stay away from cameras.

As face-recognition technology spreads, so do ideas for subverting it They work because machine vision and human vision are different ...

The nation's top-level intelligence office, the Director of National Intelligence, wants to find "the most accurate unconstrained face recognition algorithm." A branch of the office, which ...

Face detection software has slowly crept into mainstream use, from Facebook photo tagging to Android phone unlocking, but new research looks set to move the technology on significantly. Scientists ...

"This is a visualization of the face-detection algorithm; or a computer peering out from the void, learning a human face," he says. [Image credit: Robby Kraft] ...

Face masks are already known to stop the spread of coronavirus. Apparently, they can also make it much harder for facial-recognition software to identify you, too.
