Biometric Characteristics
Face Biometrics
How does biometric facial recognition work?
It works by taking a pictures of a subject from different angles and generating it into the computer to analyze it's facial structure. As you see from the picture below, it takes a number of points and measurements, such as:
distances between key characteristics
angles of key features
lengths of various portions of the face
Then with these information, the program creates a template that incorporates all the numerical data and will be compared to enormous databases of facial images to identify the subject.

How is this technology being used?
Time attendance system:
- the system records each individuals' arrival and departure time in the premise
often used in corporate, hospitals, education institutes etc.
simplest technology to be used for managing the time related data
relatively easy installation procedure
reduces the amount of data loss as (emphasizes on electronic data storage)
based on 'no human touch' technology
Visitor management system:
- the system captures facial details and compares with the old stored patterns permission will be granted when a match is found otherwise it denies
- easiest and safest method of security
- easy installation procedure
- discards buddy punching problem
- supports electronic data storage
- better and effective security system than the conventional security methods
- Generates alarm in case of visiting of the banned individuals
- the face recognition system captures the facial details and performs a match with the already stored patterns, assess right will be granted when a match is found
- simplest method for obtaining high security
- It is more effective than the primitive methods
- based on no human touch technology (removes buddy punching method of security)
- easy installation method
- needs a very easy and simple maintenance
