Introduction
Everyday actions are increasingly being handled
electrically,instead of Pencil and paper or face to face.
 The growth in electronic transactions results in great demand
for fast and accurate user identification and authentication.
Access codes of bank accounts, Computer systems etc..
often use of PIN’s for identification and security clearance.
 Using proper PIN gains access, but the user of pin is not verified.
As Credit and ATM cards are lost or stolen, an unauthorized use
can often come up with personal correct codes.
 Face recognition technology may slove this problem Since face
is undeniably connected.
 History
-In 1960,the first semi-automated system for facial recognition to locate the features (such as
ears, eyes, nose etc) on the photographs by Woodrow wilson Bledsoe. He developed a system
that classified photos Of faces through RAND tablet. The tablet allowed Bledsoe to see
manually record the co-ordinate locations of facial features.
-In 1970 Harmon, Goldstein and Lesk made the system more accurate detecting faces
automatically using biometrics recorded manually. They used 21 subjective markers such as hair
colour, thickness of lip to automate recognition

-In 1988,Kirby and Sirovich used standard linear Algebra technique to the face
recognition
 Biometrics
• It is a unique measurable
characteristics of human being , used
to recognize automatically on
individual identity
1.Phsiological characteristics
2.Behavioural characteristics
• A “biometric system” refers to
integrated hardware and
software used to conduct
biometric identification.
 Working of Face Recognition Technology
 Two types in process in FRT
1. Verification:The System compares
the given individual with the
individual says they are and gives a
yes or no decision.
2.Identification:The system compares
the given individual to all the other
individuals in the database and
gives a ranked list of matches.
How it works?
All identification and authenfication technologies operate using the
following four stages.
1.Capture: A physical or behavioural sample is captured by the system
during enrollment or identification
or verification process.
2.Extraction: Unique data is extracted
from the sample and template is created.
3.Comparision: The template is then
Compare with a new sample.
4.Match/Non-match: The system decides if the features extracted from the new
samples are an match or a non-match.
 Implementation of Face recognition technology
• This includes the following stages
1. Data accquisation
2. Input processing
3. Face image classification
4. Decision making

• Data accquisation:The input can be recorded video of the speaker

or a still image.
• Input processing:The pre-processing modules loce the eye
position and takes care of surrounded light conditions and
colour variance.
 Face recognition system work by a particular software. Ther
are about 80 nodal points on human face . Here are few nodal
points that can be measured by the software :

Distance between the eyes

Width of the nose
Depth of eye socke
Cheek bones
Jaw line
Chin
Other applications
Government use Commercial use
Law enforcement  Residential security
Security  Voter verification
Immigration etc..  Banking using ATM
Advantages
 There are many benefits to face recognition systems such as it’s
convince and social acceptability.

 Face recognition is easy to use and many cases it can be

performed without s person even knowing.

 Face recognition is also one of the most inexpensive biometric in

the market.
Disadvantages
Face recognition system can’t tell the difference between
two identical twins.
Isn’t always accurate
Hindered by glasses, masks, long air etc..

Ask users to have a neutral face when pictures are bring

taken mostly.
Conclusion
Factors such as environment changes and mild changes in
appearance impact the technology to a greater degree than many
expect.
For implementation where the biometric system must verify and
identify reliably users over time, facial scan can be very difficult,
but not impossible, technology to implement successfully.
