Face Recognition Technology

Face recognition technology is a computer system that identifies or verifies a person’s identity by analyzing their facial features. It works by capturing an image or video of a face, then measuring unique characteristics like the distance between eyes, the shape of cheekbones, and jawline. These measurements are converted into a digital template, which is matched against a database of known faces. This process allows systems to recognize or confirm individuals quickly and accurately, and is used in areas like security, access control, and personalized services. Privacy and ethical considerations are important when deploying face recognition technology.
