In efforts to maintain privacy on the internet, many people will refrain from tagging themselves in photos or even blur their face to remain hidden. But according to a new study, these measures might not offer as much protection as you think. Researchers in Germany have developed a'Faceless Recognition System' that can identify people even when their faces are obscured, using cues from the head and body to make accurate predictions. Researchers in Germany have developed a'Faceless Recognition System' that can identify people even when their faces are obscured, using cues from the head and body to make accurate predictions Even when working with a small set of photos in which the faces were visible, at just 1.25 instances per tagged identity, the system performed with nearly 70 percent accuracy. When the number of visible faces increased to 10, the accuracy rate jumped to 91.5 percent.
