What Is Face Unlock?

Face Recognition: A Security Category

A category of security that uses facial recognition is called Biometrics. Voice recognition, fingerprints, eye or iris recognition are some of the other forms of software. The technology is mostly used for security and law enforcement.

An image of the face is analyzed. 2D images are more convenient for facial recognition to match because they can be seen in public or in a database. The software looks at your face.

The shape of your cheeks, the distance from forehead to chin, and the depth of your eye sockets are some of the key factors. The aim is to identify the facial landmarks that are important to distinguishing your face. Face recognition is used to unlocks various phones.

The technology protects personal data and ensures that sensitive data is not lost if the phone is stolen. The chance of a random faceunlocking your phone is about one in 1 million, according to Apple. Many airports around the world have facial recognition equipment.

The number of travellers who hold a bio-metrics passport is increasing, which means they can skip the lines and walk through an automated ePassport control to get to the gate. The use of facial recognition allows airports to improve security. The US Department of Homeland Security predicts that facial recognition will be used on 98% of travellers by the year 2023.
