Biometric Face Recognition is the process and ability of a biometric machine to identify and recognise the face of an individual either to grant access to a secured system or to find out the details of a person by matching the face with existing data in the machine’s system. What the biometric face reader does, is to map and trace the nodes of a person’s face geometrically and stores the data with the identity of a certain individual.
During the initiation of this system, there is the basic procedure that must be undertaken to ensure that in a group of people, all their data is fed into one system and can be accessed easily to run the facial recognition tests. Where this data is stored is highly sealed to avoid leakage of this sensitive data of any individual. First, a photo has to be taken by a camera. This is to ensure that future scans will find some data to match with.
The Bio Face Reader precisely reads the landmarks and nodes in your face including the projections of the skull bones in order to store the accurate information avoid face confusion between one person to another. A facial signature is established and in future, you face will match that in the biometric machine’s data. This technology is used in both security and attendance applications.
In most cases, this biometric system is used for security purposes because they are more accurate and precise compared to other security systems. Using either fingerprint or face biometric recognition, will always land you to the perfect and exact subject or suspect in case it is a criminal investigation. When it comes to ensuring privacy or making the property safe, the biometric machine scans your face to either grant or deny access to something or somewhere. The device is automatic, once turned on and directed on the individual, it runs the authentication process and determines the results accordingly. Due to current technological developments, the biometric system has grown popular globally. Developers continue to advance this system incorporating the 3D technology to make it even more efficient and accurate. Mostly applied in government promises to keep away non-staff or terrorist and also to maintain law and order, banks when withdrawing or accessing the safe, or even in certain functions where it is for the invited only.
Many organisations use biometric attendance machine to monitor the attendance of employees to work. Some use the fingerprints biometric system while others use the biometric face recognition system. In both cases, employees have to initially submit their data physically through initial and complete scans of either their fingers for prints or their faces. It is designed that in the morning as the employees are signing in, they just run their routine facial scan in front of the biometric attendance machine. The same should happen in the evening for all the employees.
This system advantageous because it helps track the time an employee comes to work and the time they live. The machine saves all the data accurately and when needed, it sends it the administration for their records. If an employee reports late or doesn’t report at all, under the employee’s name will be all this information.
To ensure that the system works, you should avoid implying different facial expressions. You should be calm as you were during the first scan. Other biometric recognition systems include; DNA, palm veins, face recognition, odour/scent palm print, hand geometry, retina and iris recognition. All these are employed in different scenarios with the purpose of accurately tracking an individual.
