Largely because it is less intrusive than other biometric tools, such as iris scanners and fingerprint readers, facial recognition is expected to be one of the fastest-growing segments of the biometric market during the next two to three years.

The Basics: Facial recognition — also known as facial scan or face verification — is a biometric technology that identifies people based on their facial features. Facial-scan systems can recognize a person, using parts of the face that are not easy to alter, such as the areas around the cheekbones, the upper outlines of the eye sockets and the sides of the mouth.  Systems generally work by comparing the facial scan of an individual to facial scans stored in a database.

The system attempts to match the scan made from a fixed or dome camera, for example, against the scans of known problem drivers obtained from known offenders or police records to see if there's a match — what's known as a one-to-many check.  Facial-recognition solutions employ the same four-step process that all biomet ric technologies do: sample capture, feature extract ion, template comparison and matching.  The sample capture takes place in the enrolment process, during which the system takes multiple pictures of the face, usually from slightly different angles, to increase the system's ability to recognize the face.  After enrolment, certain facial features are extracted and used to create a template.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION:  Use face recognition to assist in identification.  Manually compare live and saved facial images against a database of saved face images, with an operator reviewing the results and making the decision. One is using the face recognition system to check if the person has been seen before, with the operator looking at the results to check the match.  Using Face Recognition one can IDENTIFY repeat trouble makers or banned people and take appropriate action.

The SOFTWARE is capable of the following:   

- Multiple Image capture,

            - Face template creation

- Data Base creation

-    Face comparison

-   Face addition to database
