Secure Photos: The above techniques camouflage my image from comparison with CCTV surveillance photos yet cannot stop my young granchildren from easily identifying me. The camouflage is most computationally effective when searching through a large database of photos as opposed to comparing against a known base photo. Similarly any person can easily read my distorted email watermark although admittedly there are some AI tools can deciphter it too. And admittedly there are advanced applications that can automatically extract my email address from the QR code mailto halftone url, but they also could have more easily extracted it by simply parsing the top line of my home page which uses the trivial textual description of my email address using the "AT" notation hack. I camouflaged my photo using the FOSS GIMP blurring filters (i.e. "oilify" and "clothify") while overlaying the result with my "rippled" email address as a large visible watermark which I have stategically placed to obscure my nose tip and my nostrils which are important feature metrics. The camouflaged photo provides a "kind of" two factor authentication (2FA) because if any rogue site were to post it then any skeptic could easily question it by sending me an email. BTW there are commercial de-identification (D-ID) applications which obscure photos with nearly unobservable distortion where the obscured photo would intentionally fail to pass high quality photo ID techniques such as a passport scanner. An interesting new FOSS D-ID technique (patentable?) would be to inject a barely visible Eurion currency watermark into a photograph, because an Eurion currency watermark would render such a photograph uncopyable by all commercial imaging software for fear that currency is being counterfeit.↩︎
