Computerized Face-Recognition Technology still Fooled by Cosmetic Surgery

Researchers at West Virginia University reported the results of the first experimental study to quantify the effects of plastic surgery. The results shows that even under the most ideal lighting and positions, the best algorithms for facial recognition failed most of the time. However, there are features beneath the skin that are still observable and unchanged after surgery.
