Facial detection algorithm can be racist

Why you gotta be hati'n on the Klingon?

I'm kidding. I just found it funny.

Facial makeup is less influential than other facial variations unless it is a theatrical cosmetic. Usually the face recognition system requires a certain amount of user's cooperation on this problem; that is, if you are an enrolled member in the database, it is better you do not wear a rubber mask when you are requesting for admission. Figure 5 is an example of how facial makeup affects the performance of the face detection.

Good call.

That's totally not surprising.

From a design perspective, there's no reason Warf should be detected. The DSP looks for certain patterns, and those ridges he has confuse the software.
No racism here.
