Can simple camouflage techniques undo the work of face-detection surveillance cameras? Adam Harvey, a designer and technologist with NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program, thinks so. According to Popular Science, after reverse-engineering the algorithms behind face detection, Harvey created a series of blocky images that he says could be the “building blocks of anti-surveillance makeup.” Harvey has found that the most successful patterns are smaller than you might guess: A few random patches of makeup scattered around the eye seem to confuse face-detection software more effectively than larger patterns. http://inhardfocus.com/inhardfocus/2010/4/8/camouflage-makeup-seeks-to-foil-face-detection-technology.html

List of colors

The following is a list of colors . A number of the color swatches below are taken from domain-specific naming schemes such as X11 or HTML4 . RGB values are given for each swatch because such standards are defined in terms of the sRGB color space . It is not possible to accurately convert many of these swatches to CMYK values because of the differing gamuts of the two spaces, but the color management systems built into operating systems and image editing software attempt such conversions as accurately as possible. The HSV (hue, saturation, value) color space values, also known as HSB (hue, saturation, brightness), and the hex triplets (for HTML web colors ) are also given in the following table. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colors:_A-M
