Brainy Fact

                     The Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Bledsoe, an  American mathematician

                     and computer scientist, first introduced the concept of face recognition
                     in 1960s.



                  How does Face Recognition Work?

                  Mainly four steps are involved in face recognition technology which are as follows:

                  1.  Detects face using camera

                  2.  Analyses the face by reading the geometry of the face

                  3.  Converts the image into data

                  4.  Matches the data with the existing database

                  Role of Artificial Intelligence in Face Recognition

                  With the use of AI, face recognition becomes one of the trending biometric authentication

                  techniques. This technique is able to identify an individual using facial features in an image

                  or video. Now, AI-enabled face recognition applications are also used in various social
                  media applications to add different types of filters on faces. For example, the Snapchat
                  website uses face recognition technique to apply filters on face.


                  Areas where AI-powered Face Recognition is Being Used

                  Nowadays, face recognition technology is used in various areas. Some of the areas are

                  as follows:

                     • It is used in criminal identification.

                     • It is used in phones to unlock them.
                     • It is used in social media websites to spot faces when you upload a photo.

                     • It is used in surveillance cameras.

                  Benefits of AI-powered Face Recognition Systems


                  Some of the benefits of the AI-powered face recognition systems are as follows:

                     • It helps in finding missing people.

                     • It makes security systems more powerful.
                     • It reduces potential threats at various places as it identifies the criminals.
