How It Works

Facial recognition is the process of identifying or verifying the identity of a person using their face. It captures, analyzes, and compares patterns based on the person's facial details.

The face detection process is an essential step as it detects and locates human faces in images and videos. The face capture process transforms analog information (a face) into a set of digital information (data) based on the person's facial features. The face match process verifies if two faces belong to the same person.

Face recognition systems capture an incoming image from a camera device in a two-dimensional or three-dimensional way depending on the characteristics of the device. These ones compare the relevant information of the incoming image signal in real-time in photo or video in a database, being much more reliable and secure than the information obtained in a static image.

This biometric facial recognition procedure requires an internet connection since the database cannot be located on the capture device as it is hosted on servers. In this comparison of faces, it analyses mathematically the incoming image without any margin of error and it verifies that the biometric data matches the person who must use the service or is requesting access to an application, system or even building.
