  1. FACERECOGNITION By: Rachel Calvitti AlianaSaez Ashley Snyder

  2. What is Biometrics? • Technology that identifies you based on your physical or behavioral traits [1] • Physical: • Face, fingerprints, irises, veins • Behavioral: • Voice, handwriting or typing rhythm

  3. What is Face Recognition? • Ability to recognize people by their facial characteristics • Most advanced form is based on Eigenface algorithm • Computer has capability to distinguish the same person with different appearances

  4. Why use it and for what? • Security clearance • Airports • Hospitals • Hotels • Grocery stores • Seek out criminals • Those blacklisted at casinos • Terrorists

  5. What will Facial Recognition Replace? • A need for passwords and PINs • Certain types of security cameras • Types of airport security • Soon the technology will be advanced enough to eliminate the need for some of the basic types of security within society.

  6. Upcoming in Facial Recognition • Facebook – new applications will automatically “tag” users within pictures • Google – plans to automatically link a persons image to personal information found online. • The ability to recognize not only features, but emotions as well. [1]

  7. Who uses face recognition? • Google uses Face Recognition to identify a person on a social network.[1] • "U.S. airports will be equipped with wearable computers, introduced at Comdex here this week, so they can instantly identify suspicious travelers based on face recognition technology. [2] • Recognition systems are also used by casinos to catch card counters, eliminate cheaters,and other blacklisted individuals. [3] • National Center for missing and exploited children use face recognition to find missing children on the internet.[4]

  8. Threats • There are only a few threats for specific companies/places: airports and the FBI. • The biggest threat that these places have is privacy. • Facial recognition, in combination with wider use of video surveillance, would be likely to grow increasingly invasive over time. [1] • Another problem is the threat of abuse. The use of facial recognition in public places like airports depends on widespread video monitoring, an intrusive form of surveillance that can record in graphic detail personal and private behavior. [2]

  9. Evaluation • Yes face recognition will be successful if it is managed properly and all the problems have been fixed. After all the kinks have been fixed and people do not abuse face recognition, then it can actually be used properly in airports, for the government, and at the casinos. The reason why is because face recognition is a fast way to recognize a person by finding the input image against images of all users in a database and finding the best match. All criminals of any sort can be caught and found through the database with face recognition.
