face-recognition-72A rapid but superior method for computerized face recognition could revolutionize security systems especially if it can see through disguises, according to research published in this month’s issue of the International Journal of Intelligent Systems Technologies and Applications.

Every face has special features that define that person, yet faces can also be very similar, explains Lin Huang, of Florida Atlantic University, in Boca Raton. That makes computerized face recognition for security and other applications an interesting but difficult task.

Face recognition software has been in development for many years. However, for biometric authentication at border crossings, for access to buildings, for automated banking, crime investigation, and other applications, has not yet become a mainstream application. The main technical limitation is although the systems are accurate they require a lot of computer power. (more…)
