Facial recognition can help in the apprehension of criminals and be used to bring home missing or runaway children or adults. The technology allows the software manufacturer to input various facial parameters into digital templates for use capturing the video images.
What can facial recognition security software do?
- Capture and print photos of the individuals whose faces have been captured.
- Add, remove and compare images in various reference databases.
- Search databases and display like images.
- Check the compliance standards with biometric identification systems.
- Allows for either real-time or video recorded image scanning.
The benefits of facial recognition is that it can capture a face within a specified video frame and capture an image. The software then operates in either identification or verification mode.
When in identification mode, the facial features are captured in the specified parameters and are then compared to all facial templates in the database.
Verification mode is used to recognize a face in a specific database and, for example, allow an individual into a secured area. This is another form of biometric recognition.
When setting up the facial recognition software the user must define the “levels of similarity” based on a percentage of how “alike” the “real face” compares to the photo that is in the database. The information captured in the system can also be tagged with the individuals’ name, his department, any relevant comments regarding employment and other information. The images are saved and tagged and can be used as historical evidence if necessary at a future time.
