Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.A new government study found that wearing face masks makes it harder for facial recognition algorithms to recognize people.
The typical error rate for most facial recognition algorithms is 0.3%. When subjects in the study wore a face mask, the error rate rose to anywhere from 5% to 50%. The algorithms are less likely to recognize someone wearing a mask over their nose, the study found. Wide masks that cover the full face were more likely to trick facial recognition than round masks.Wearing a mask doesn't just limit the spread of COVID-19 — it may also makes it harder for facial recognition algorithms to identify you, according to a new study.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology tested 89 facial recognition algorithms, which have an error rate of around 0.3%.
