Face recognition
Few biometric technologies are sparking our imagination quite like facial recognition.
Equally, its arrival has prompted profound concerns and surprising reactions in 2020.
But more about that later.
In this web dossier, you will discover the seven face recognition facts and trends set to shape the landscape in 2021.
How facial recognition works
Facial recognition is the process of identifying or verifying the identity of a person using their face. It captures, analyzes, and compares patterns based on the person's facial details.
-
The face detection process is an essential step in detecting and locating human faces in images and videos.
-
The face capture process transforms analog information (a face) into a set of digital information (data or vectors) based on the person's facial features.
-
The face match process verifies if two faces belong to the same person.
Why face recognition, then?
Facial biometrics continues to be the preferred biometric benchmark.
That's because it's easy to deploy and implement. There is no physical interaction with the end-user.
Moreover, face detection and face match processes for verification/identification are speedy.
