READING
1 Read the article and tick () A, B, or C.
Face recognition
We now upload over four billion photos a month
onto Facebook, and anyone who uses the site is
familiar with the idea of face recognition
software, which can tell you who is (or might be)
in your photo.
Face recognition is being used in many different
areas, especially to help the police identify
criminals. Computers are not able to read faces
like humans can, but they can be trained to
compare a face with a photo that is stored in a
database. They do this by noting certain
features, or, for example, measuring the
distance between the eyes. A ‘smart’
surveillance system – cameras which record our
movements in public spaces – has now been
developed by a Japanese company which can
look through 36 million faces in one second to
find a matching one. Many people say they feel
safer if there are cameras to protect them in
public places, but others are not comfortable
with the fact that so many images of us are
stored in a database.
The technology is not yet perfect (people who
have had plastic surgery can especially confuse
the system!), but it is now often preferred to
other forms of conventional identification. This is
partly because it can be used without us
knowing. Face recognition is being improved all
the time. Other new technology has been
designed which can predict how a face might
look as it gets older or which can fill in missing
parts of an image. It can even identify someone
from video taken in very low light.
In the future, face recognition might also inspire
many more good business ideas. There is
already an app for smartphones to tell how
many people are at a club, and the ratio of men
to women. Sony has also designed a camera
that waits for you to smile before it takes a
picture.
Finally, facial recognition doesn’t just recognize
humans now – tests have been carried out
which show that individual chimpanzees can be
recognized, a development that could be used
to protect wildlife in the future.
