Face recognition is one of the top biometric technologies after fingerprint identification. Benefits of face recognition are obvious: contactless scanning, variety of scanning devices, including web-cameras, cameras, video surveillance cameras, etc.
A face recognition algorithm adheres to the general principles of all biometric technologies: a captured identifier is digitized, and the templates are then compared for matching. Unlike fingerprints, face images contain fewer unique characteristics for analysis and processing; as a result, this technology is especially efficient in a multi-factor mode, when the user is identified by several biometric credentials (fingerprints, voice, handwriting, etc.).
Face recognition functions are effectively performed by the VeriLook SDK development kit.
