It takes seconds. Using biometrics, artificial intelligence and algorithms a face can be captured visually and matched to those stored in a database to obtain the person’s ID. It authenticates by using a set of recognisable and verifiable data unique to that person. Facial recognition was pioneered in the 1960s and has since been a major global force in thousands of applications from security to retail to health. Through Deep Learning, where a system learns from data, Face Recognition technology is advancing every single day.
