CV Dazzle™ is camouflage from computer vision (CV). It is a form of expressive interference that combines makeup and hair styling (or other modifications) with face-detection thwarting designs. The name is derived from a type of camouflage used during WWI, called Dazzle, which was used to break apart the gestalt-image of warships, making it hard to discern their directionality, size, and orientation. Likewise, the goal of CV Dazzle™ is to break apart the gestalt of a face, or object, and make it undetectable to computer vision algorithms, in particular face detection.

Stalking happens.

Scoble (in comments on this post) suggests getting a bodyguard and moving to a gated community (as he does). This is big blinking WTF. What kind of a solution is that?

Good summary of the issues surrounding this.
