BIOMETRIC
FACIAL RECOGNITION
DEMYSTIFIED
ABSTRACT
Biometrics is increasingly becoming important in our security heightened world. Computer face recognition promises to be a powerful tool, just like fingerprint scans. Facial recognition will become vitally important in future multi-cultural visual communication systems, for translation between cultures, which may be considered analogous to speech translation.
However so far the recognition of face is mainly addressed by computer vision researchers, based on facial display. Facial recognition refers to identifying an individual based on his/her distinguishing facial characteristics. As these characteristics are distinctive to each and every person, facial identification is more reliable and capable than the traditional token based and knowledge based technologies differentiating between an authorized and a fraudulent person.
This paper discusses the mainstream of facial recognition. How does facial recognition works? With some practical examples emphasising how it has been used previously for security reasons. As with other types of biometrics, face recognition has its pros and cons. Understanding these issues will better help in deploying face recognition systems successfully. And next we discuss about its practical applications in day to day life.
