Images of Your Eye's Pupil Can Be Mined for Friend's Faces

Post by dualstow »

We don't see much tech news around here now that MachineGhost doesn't come by very often. I think this one is interesting. File under 'loss of privacy.'

The pupil of the eye in a photograph of a face can be mined for hidden information, such as reflected faces of the photographer and bystanders, according to research led by Dr. Rob Jenkins, of the Department of Psychology at the University of York and published in PLOS ONE (open access).
