Face recognition technology uses physiological biometrics to identify individuals based on facial features. There are two main types of face recognition systems: verification and identification. Verification systems perform 1:1 matching to confirm someone's identity, while identification systems perform 1:N matching to determine who someone is by searching a larger database. Face recognition detects around 80 nodal points on the face including distances between features. Real-world applications include using face recognition in a Chinese tourist town to track visitors and prevent ticket sharing. The system provides fast, accurate identification compared to other biometric options.
2. Two Types of Biometrics
PHYSIOLOGICAL BEHAVIORAL
Finger-scan Voice-scan
Facial Recognition Signature-scan
Iris-scan Keystroke-scan
Retina-scan
Hand-scan
3. Two systems of Face Recognition
Verification System
– Is this person who they say they
are?
– Express himself or herself as a
specific person
– System checks against his or her
biometric profile
– 1 To 1 matching system
– Airport FRS
Identification System
– Who is this person?
– Check against with all the biometric
profile from database.
– 1 To N matching system
– Forensic System
4. How Face recognition detects a face
– Each human face has approximately 80 nodal points
– Some of these measured by the Facial Recognition Technology are
– Distance between the eyes
– Width of the nose
– Depth of the eye sockets
– The shape of the cheekbones
– The length of the jaw line
10. How they use?
– When you are approaching a gate it will take a photo of you and it will compare
that photo to the database. Just one step.
– When you have to check in your accommodation, simply upload your photo to
the database
– Re-entering the town, the system will re-check you are still a guest or not.
– This is being used to track the 5,000 visitors every day.
11. Why they choose over others?
– Used to monitor its visitors using a ticket system but …………………...............
– some people were sharing their tickets to avoid paying.
– A fingerprint identification tool was then introduced, but ………………………..
– this took too long, and had lengthy queues.
12. Why it is reliable?
– Baidu's system is based on neural networks, which can process huge amounts of
data
– More than one billion faces
– 99.8 per cent accuracy.
