What is the Technology behind Facial Recognition Systems?
The most important factor in Facial Recognition systems is its ability to differentiate between the background and the face. This is very important when the system has to identify a face within a crowd. The system then makes use of a person’s facial features – its peaks, valleys and landmarks – and treats these as nodes that can be measured and compared against those that are stored in the system database. There are approximately 80 nodes comprising the face print that the system makes use of and this includes the jaw line length, eye socket depth and distance between the eyes, cheekbone shape, and the width of the nose.
