There is no wonder the current technological advances are reshaping the world. Today, we are connected to the Internet that has made everything easier and readily available. Facial recognition emerges as an effective technology, creating numerical representations by assessing images of human faces with images of faces stored in a database. As a face detection software application, it is widely used to detect abnormal behavior in people and thwart any risks before it happens. Since facial recognition is here to stay and continues evolving, it brings both positives and negatives.
Also refers to biometric technology, facial recognition nowadays is used in an array of ways such as unlocking phones, validating people at airports, purchasing products at stores, preventing crimes on streets, etc. According to the report, the facial recognition market is forecast to reach U$9.6 billion by 2022, a growing CAGR of 21.3% throughout the projected period 2016-2022.
