Facial Recognition System
Facial recognition system
A facial recognition system is a biometrictechnologycapable of matching ahumanface extracted from adigital imageor video frame against a database of known faces by detecting, analyzing, and comparing uniquefacialfeatures such as thedistancebetween eyes,nosewidth, and jawline contours.[1][2]Emerging from earlycomputer visionefforts in the 1960s, thetechnologyhas evolved through milestones including semi-automated feature measurement in the 1970s, the introduction ofeigenfacealgorithms in the 1990s forprincipal component analysisof facial variance, and rapid advancements since the 2010s via deep convolutional neural networks that achieve high accuracy in large-scale identification tasks.[3][4]
