CV Dazzle – Adam Harvey Camouflage from Computer Vision This project is under active development CV Dazzle Look 1. 2010. CV Dazzle is a type of camouflage from computer vision. *The following is an overview of the project concepts, background, and initial tests. How It Works” CV Dazzle works by altering the expected dark and light areas of a face (or object) according to the vulnerabilities of a specific computer vision algorithm. Computer vision is always based on an accepted probabilistic threshold that can be exploited by altering the key visual features to appear one step below the threshold of detection. Because face detection is the first step in any automated facial recognition system, blocking the detection stage also blocks any subsequent facial analysis including recognition and emotional analysis. Look Book The first design (Look #1) was created in 2010 as a proof of concept for my masters thesis at ITP NYU. CV Dazzle Look 1. 2010. CV Dazzle Look 2. 2010. CV Dazzle Look 3. 2010.

Portraits of Dogs as They Shake Off Water For her series “Shake“, pet photographer Carli Davidson photographed curious portraits of dogs shaking off water. Use a fast shutter speed and you can capture all kinds of strange expressions on your dog’s face. You can find the rest of the photographs in the series here. Shake (via Photojojo) Image credits: Photographs by Carli Davidson and used with permission The Pastrami Burger Bomb Meat-as-condiment. [Photographs: Kenji Alt, unless otherwise noted] I first heard of pastrami burgers—which are, oddly enough, pastrami-topped burgers—from a pastry chef I knew from Utah, where apparently the meat-on-meat combo is something of a state dish. A "product of honest American fusion," as John T. The problem, however, is that as a child of New York, there are a number of things that I'm inherently snobby about. That's the pastrami I know. It didn't make sense to me—I couldn't reconcile how two of my favorite meat products could fit together and result in anything other than an overblown mess. As I expected, the flavor of the rich, juicy pastrami completely overwhelmed that of the burger, despite the fact that it was char-grilled. To get a better idea of the concept, I appealed to Alison Herzog, former Serious Eats intern, and current resident of Salt lake City. [Photograph: Alison Herzog] According to Allison, No doubt about it: that stuff is pastrami-in-quotes. Condimeat

Creepy, Crusty, Crumbling: Illegal Tour of Abandoned Six Flags New Orleans [75 Pics] Hurricane Katrina killed this clown. According to the photographer, “An abandoned Six Flags amusement park, someone spray painted ‘Six Flags 2012 coming soon’ on the wall above the downed head. But they were clownin.’ Six Flags will never rebuild here.” Welcome to Zombie Land kids! Chained dreams of fun at Six Flags New Orleans, abandoned Jazzland – that’s what Six Flags opened as “Jazzland” in 2000. Some photographers can see past the lifeless amusement park’s decay and desolation, showing us that there is still a chance the place could be cheery and not cheerless. Like a Bad Dream. Just in case you don’t know the scoop on what Hurricane Katrina did to New Orleans and Six Flags, this photo is of New Orleans, LA, on Sept. 14, 2005. Unlike the bleak amusement-less park above, some photographers can still see and share with us the echo of magic in the abandoned theme park Six Flags – even 6 years later in 2011. No lines for dead rides. Watch out for that tree! No one wants a ride?

Goal-line technology for football by 2014 could make the game fairer The battle is on to score a lucrative Fifa contract to supply goal-line technology during football matches but other sports are also set to benefit. Controversial decisions on the football pitch regularly lead to calls for the use of goal-line technology. And it could be in place sooner than you think. Fifa president Sepp Blatter last week repeated his pledge to have goal-line technology in place for the 2014 World Cup. He said he believes a system that judges whether a goal is scored or not will be brought in next year, allowing it to be introduced in the World Cup two years later. ‘To avoid what the English have (named) a flagrant injustice, the discussion had to be re-opened, and that is what we did,’ he said. Cynics may argue it’s a case of damage limitation after England’s failed bid for the 2018 tournament. But after Frank Lampard ’s disallowed strike against Germany in last year’s World Cup, even the Scottish FA has reiterated its support for goal-line aids.

The Infinity Room With this immersive installation, French artist Serge Salat invites visitors to take a journey through endless layers of space, decked out with cubic shapes, panels of mirrors, shifting lights and music. “Beyond Infinity” is a multi-sensory, multimedia experience that blends Eastern Chinese with Western Renaissance. Inspired by the Suzhou Gardens, a masterpiece of Chinese landscape, the three-lined trigram of I Ching is the main pattern that organizes the space of the work. via [Architizer] Views: 422998 Tags: Serge Salat, The Infinity Room, architecture, design Earth Hour sees lights out across the planet Britons joined people in 134 countries across the world by switching off their lights for 60 minutes to mark Earth Hour. Environment charity WWF organised Earth Hour to highlight its aim of a sustainable future for the planet. Buildings from Big Ben and Buckingham Palace to the Eiffel Tower and the Empire State Building were blacked out. The tallest, the 828m Burj Khalifa in Dubai, switched off about half-a-million lights. At London’s Royal Albert Hall, TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher led a team of 60 cyclists from WWF-UK who created a human-powered projection with images of endangered species being shone on to the building. The charity is calling on governments and individuals to pledge their commitment to tackling climate change.
