This document discusses face biometrics and face recognition systems. It explains that there are two types of biometrics: physiological and behavioral characteristics. Physiological biometrics include finger scans, iris scans, retina scans, hand scans, and facial recognition. The document then focuses on facial recognition, noting that it analyzes 80 landmarks on the human face. It describes two types of facial recognition comparisons: verification and identification. The document explains that facial recognition is preferable to other biometrics because it requires no physical interaction and does not require an expert to interpret results. It provides an overview of how facial recognition systems work in three steps: loading a photo, detecting faces, and recognizing faces using algorithms. The document concludes by describing several algorithms used for facial
