Avoiding automated facial recognition / computer surveillance

There is an interesting article here about how to avoid facial recognition from CCTV cameras, etc.

This is more of a feature than news, but I hope you'll forgive me as I think it will be useful to people here (no, I'm nothing to do with the websites linked to). Summary of the top tips:

1. Avoid enhancers: They amplify key facial features.
2. Partially obscure the nose-bridge are: The region where the nose, eyes, and forehead intersect is a key facial feature.
3. Partially obscure the ocular region: The position and darkness of eyes is a key facial feature.
4. Remain inconspicuous: For camouflage to function, it must not be perceived as a mask or disguise.
