Face-mask recognition has arrived—for better or worse New algorithms can police whether people are complying with public health guidance. The practice raises familiar questions about data privacy.

The problem with face masks As facial signatures are based on mathematical models of the relative positions of facial features, anything that reduced the visibility of key characteristics (such as ...

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.

New research suggests face masks are hampering facial recognition systems. The algorithms never accounted for a pandemic.

A study of 65 face recognition algorithms on masked photos found they were as good as the top performers in 2017 with no masks.
