How to fool facial recognition systems

Analytics India magazine quoted Siwei Lyu, Empire Innovation Professor of Computer Science, for a story on attempts to outwit facial recognition software.

Such images have to be geometrically transformed and the process leaves digital footprints allowing researchers to detect the fake videos.
