Facial Recognition Systems By Derek Ciocca
Parts of the system • Improving Accuracy • Current and future uses
Parts of the System • The camera to take the pictures • The database to retrieve photos • The ‘algorithm’ to compare the current photo to past photos
Basic theory • Distinctive facial features measured • Distance between eyes • Width of nose • Length of the jaw-line • Approx. 80 different points
Problems with 2D Pictures • Very sensitive to light & shadow • Picture had to be straight on • Sensitive to changes in facial expression
Surface Texture Analysis • Measures color and texture of skin • More tolerant to changes in facial expression, hair, and accessories • Improvement of 20-25%
Current & Future Uses • Security • Used at Super Bowl XXXV • Airports • ATM verification (future) • Advertisements
