Applications
Face recognition technology can be applied in many different ways. The main market today is security related, but there are a variety of applications emerging related to personal use, convenience, productivity enhancement and more.
Applications for security
Face recognition technology can help enhance security in areas where it is important to verify the identity of persons based on facial images.
Examples of such applications include border control, passport or drivers' license issuance, law enforcement investigations, video surveillance and physical access control.
Applications for convenience and productivity
With the use of digital cameras, large amounts of photographs are downloaded to computers or uploaded on photo album websites. Face recognition technology can help index and sort digital images in electronic photo albums and during event photography.
Face recognition technology can also serve VIP recognition, trigger targeted advertisement displays, unlock phones and cars, and replace the conventional password login for online applications and banking machines.
