Researchers reveal system to identify terrorists by 'V' hand gesture

Gruesome videos of terror-driven killings have grown increasingly common over the years, and, cloaked by a scarf or a hood, the perpetrators can be difficult to identify. Researchers in Jordan have now developed a way to recognize terrorists using a small part of their hands, measuring the characteristics of their fingers when they make the commonly displayed'V' sign. The team trained an AI to identify different'V' signs, using sizes of the fingers and the different shapes and angles created by them to differentiate between people.
