INTRODUCTION

Complex and largely software based technique

Analyze unique shape, pattern

&positioning of facial features

It compare scans to records stored in

central or local database or even on a smart card

WHAT IS BIOMETRICS?
It is a unique measurable characteristics of a

human being Used to automatically recognize an individuals identity Two types 1.physiological & 2. behavioral characteristics include A biometric system refers to integrated hardware and software used to conduct biometic identification

WHY WE CHOOSE FACE RECOGNITION OVER OTHER BIOMETRICS

It requires no physical interaction on behalf of user It is accurate and allows for high enrolment and

verification Not require an expert to interpret the comparison result Can use your existing infrastructure Passive identification

FACE RECOGNITION
Two types of comparison in face recognition

1.Verification- The system compare the given individual with who that individual says they are. 2 .Identification-The system compares a given individual to all the other individuals in the database and gives a ranked list of matches.

STAGES OF IDENTIFICATION

Capture

Extraction

Comparison

Match/Non match

Accept/Project

FOUR STAGES OF IDENTIFICATION

Capture-Capture the behavioral sample Extraction-unique data is extracted from the sample

and a template is created.

Comparison-the template is compared with a new

sample.

Match/non match-the system decides whether the

new samples are matched or not.

COMPONENTS OF FACE RECOGNITION

Enrollment module-An automated mechanism that

scans and captures a digital or analog image of a living personal characteristics

Database-Another entity which handles compression

,processing ,data storage and compression of the captured data with stored data
Identification module-The third interfaces with the

application system

IMPLEMENTATION OF FACE RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY.

Data acquisition

Input processing
Face image classification Decision making

THE SOFTWARE
Detection Alignment

Normalization
Representation Matching

ADVANTAGE
Convenience and social acceptability

Easy to use

Inexpensive biometric

DISADVANTAGE

Face recognition systems cant tell the difference

between identical twins

APPLICATIONS
Government Use

1. Law enforcement 2.Security/counterterrorism 3.Immigration

Commercial Use

1.Day care 2.Residential security 3.Voter verification 4.Banking using ATM

CONCLUSION
Face recognition technologies have been associated generally with very costly top secure applications. Today the core technologies have evolved and the cost of equipments is going down dramatically due to the integration and the increasing processing power. Certain applications of face recognition technology are now cost effective ,reliable and highly accurate. As a result there are no technological or financial barriers for stepping from the pilot project to widespread deployment
