This document discusses the application of face and image recognition systems. It begins by defining a facial recognition system as a computer application that can automatically identify or verify a person from a digital image or video frame. It notes that machine performance does not degrade with increasing data like human performance, and machines do not experience fatigue. It then lists nine common applications of these systems, including law enforcement to identify suspects, security/counterterrorism to detect known terrorists, corrections to track inmates, and banking/airports for identity verification to reduce fraud.

Recognition Technology
A facial recognition system is a computer
application for automatically identifying or
verifying a person from a digital image or a
video frame from a video source.

3. Need of IMAGE Recognition
• Human Performance degrades with increasing
no. of Targets , whereas Performance of
Machine does not depend Upon increasing
size of the set of Targets
• The Performance of a Machine does not
degrade due to fatigue caused by prolonged
effort.

4. Applications
1)Law Enforcement:
• Minimizing victim trauma by
narrowing ˈmug ˌ shot searches,
• verifying identify for court records
• comparing school surveillance
camera images to known child
molesters.

5. 2)Security/Counterterrorism:
Access control(Immigration), comparing surveillance
images to known terrorists.
3)Correctional institutions/prisons:
Inmate tracking, employee access
Applications

6. 4) Childbase Protection:
Childbase is an application that helps protect and
Recover missing and sexually exploited children,
Particularly those children victimized through child
Abuse images
5)IDENTIFICATION:
