FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY
Introduction
The September 11th attacks have brought an increased urgency to upgrade the nations security. This crisis has hastened the interest in deployment of biometric systems. Biometric systems identify people by unique physical characteristics including iris patterns, retinal scans, fingerprints and facial structure.
There are two classifications of Automated Biometric Recognition Technologies, Physiological Biometrics and Behavioral Biometrics. Those technologies classified as Physiological Biometrics include fingerprinting, hand geometry, iris recognition, retina recognition and facial recognition. Behavioral Biometrics include signature, voice and keystroke dynamics technologies. This study has been narrowed to be focused on Facial Recognition Technology and applications in the aviation environment.
Facial recognition is a technology that has been around for a good period of time. Scientists at universities have been working on facial recognition for over a decade. Financial support stems from the U.S. Defense Department attempting to find a technology that could spot criminals at border crossings. Commercialization of facial recognition software began in the mid 1990s.
Of all biometric technologies Facial Recognition Technology has received the most public acceptance due to the inherent human utilization of recognition by facial characteristics.
Technology
Basic Facial Recognition
In January 2001, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) publication, Technology Review, placed biometrics on its top ten list of emerging technologies. It believes that the technology would soon have a profound impact on how people live, work and travel.
Coincidentally, an analysis by an internal International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) task force, the New Technologies Working...
