Dazzle Camouflage - Modern Use

Modern Use

Museum ships HMS Belfast, moored in the River Thames in London, United Kingdom, HMCS Sackville, moored in Halifax Harbour in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and USS North Carolina, moored in Wilmington, North Carolina, United States, are painted in the dazzle camouflage they used during the Second World War.

Dazzle makeup, or "CV dazzle" (computer vision dazzle), to hamper facial recognition software, was inspired by dazzle camouflage. It has been shown to be somewhat successful at defeating face detection software in common use, including that employed by Facebook.

Famous quotes containing the word modern:

    In most modern instances, interpretation amounts to the philistine refusal to leave the work of art alone. Real art has the capacity to make us nervous. By reducing the work of art to its content and then interpreting that, one tames the work of art. Interpretation makes art manageable, conformable.
    Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    Miss Nancy Ellicott smoked
    And danced all the modern dances;
    And her aunts were not quite sure how they felt about it,
    But they knew that it was modern.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
