INTRODUCTION:
It is a category of biometric software for automatic
identification.
It makes use the most usual human identifier,face and
unique facial characteristics.
It was invented by
WOODROW WILSON
BLEDSOE
HISTORY:
The earliest pioneers of facial recognition were Wood
Bledsoe,Helen Chan Wolf and Charles Bisson.
In 1964 and 1965,Beldsoe along with Wolf and Bisson
began work using computers to recognise the human face.
EBL approach by Sung and Poggio(1994)
The neural network
approach by Rowley
etal(1998).
Face Recognition Vendor
Test(2002)
Face Recognition Grand

IMPLEMENTATION:
The implementation of face recognition technology
includes the following stages:
•Image acquisation
•Image processing
•Distinctive characteristic location
•Template matching
•Template creation
 These nodal points are measured creating a numerical

code,called a face print,

representing the face in
the database.
HOW IT WORKS:
Step-1: Captures images or vedios.
Step-2: Reads the geometric measurements on the face.
Step-3: Calculates a mathematical formula for the captured
face.
Step-4: Compares it with the image in the database.
APPLICATIONS:
Government use:
a)Security/Counterterrorism
b)Immigration
c)Voter verification
Commercial use:
a)Day care
b)Residential security
c)Banking using ATM
Fraud detection
Payments
Healthcare
Advertising
USES:
It can be used for a multitude of applications,from
security to advertisements.Here are some of them:
Mobile phone manufactures,such as Apple,for consumer
security.
Modernizing public safety
Creating a better shopping experience
Streamlining customer service
Diagnosing rare diseases
Tracking school attendance
Locating lost pets
Unlock phones
Prevent Retail crime
Find missing persons
ADVANTAGES:
 No need to physically contact a device for authentication
purpose.
Improved level of security.
High security
High accuracy
Fully automated
Low invasiveness
High speed
Identification support system
DISADVANTAGES:
Scarce Data Storage
Insufficient camera angle
Not as accurate as other biometrics
Large amounts of storage needed
Good quality of images required
Can’t tell differance between identical twins
Problem when the person change the hairstyle,shave or
beard or wear glasses.
SECURITY:
Currently there are no laws in United States that
specially protect an individual’s biometric data.
This is being studied or deployed for airport security.

Data from facial recognition system may be captured

and stored and an individual may not even know it.
This information can be accessed by hackers.
CONCLUSION:
A face recognition system must be able to recognise a
face in many different imaging situations.
It will find faces efficiently without exhaustively
searching the image.

Face recognition systems are going to have widespread

application in smart environments.
