Facial recognition, at its most basic level, entails recognizing or validating someone based on the qualities and features of their face. Algorithms identify vital points on the face, such as the form of one’s chin, and construct a template for that person in the most common type of facial recognition. It can be most accurate when users voluntarily submit their photographs to a limited database, such as a workplace network, for face access control. When a person approaches a facial scanner, their live image is captured and converted into a template, then it is compared to data in the database. When a face is matched, the user can perform an action, such as walking through the door or connecting to a network.

The face scanner is a cutting-edge recognition system that enables a highly flexible human verification process. Its application isn’t confined to security concerns; it also swiftly expands into the commercial realm, such as SaaS Enterprises.
