Definition:
Facial recognition, as part of computer vision, is a technology that involves the identification and verification of individuals by analyzing and comparing unique facial features. It uses algorithms to capture, analyze, and match facial patterns from images or video frames. By extracting key facial landmarks and characteristics, such as the distance between the eyes, the shape of the nose, and the contours of the face, facial recognition systems can accurately recognize and authenticate individuals. The applications for this technology are diverse and include the areas of access control, surveillance, user authentication, and personalized experiences in digital platforms.
