Have you imagined what the world would be like if you could buy things easily and safely with just one look?
well this kind of technology exists and we will analyze it below

Face detection — also called facial detection is a kind of technology that, as its name indicates, its main function is to recognize someone’s face and in this blog I will explain how this facial recognition works so let’s start and give some examples of its uses.

How face detection works

face detection works through a kind of program that tracks the most characteristic or easily identifiable features such as the eyes, then it could detect the eyebrows, mouth, iris, nose and nostrils, once it has detected These features apply tests to verify that it is effectively detecting a face.
This face detection can already be used for several quite useful functions such as:

Access to the phone: this is quite well known in Apple with its iPhone X model since the devices currently have this recognition that helps them quickly unlock the phone by recognizing the face of its owner.

Identification at airports: this facial identification has been used in the airports of Orlando, New York and Atlanta, using it to speed up procedures and guarantee greater security for people.

New forms of payment: in some KFC restaurants in China it is possible to pay with a smile, which allows a faster, safer and more attractive payment method.

With all this we can see the impact that facial recognition has had in some areas and how useful it is to facilitate or improve security in some areas, if this continues, more impressive things can be achieved.
This concludes the whole blog and see you in the next one to learn more about the world of technology
