What is Facial Recognition?
Facial recognition refers to a system that can identify a human face from a digital picture or video frame against a database of faces. It functions in several comprehensive steps comprising detection of facial features by capturing single images, video sequences, views from multiple cameras, and three-dimensional (3D) data, analysis of the image by reading the geometry and expression, and recognition of the image to identify the individual. It is primarily employed to authenticate users through identification (ID) verification services and categorizes individuals according to various identifiable features, such as age, gender, and weight automatically. It is also capable of rendering blurred pictures to analyze and identify individuals accurately. It helps prevent crimes and increases efficiency in security maintenance by reducing unnecessary human interaction and involvement. It also enables individuals to secure their data and documents saved online or on computers with facial recognition-enabled network access control. It is also integrated into attendance systems and biometric systems used in airport and border control, banking, healthcare, and information technology (IT) sectors.
The demand for facial recognition technology increased during the outbreak of COVID-19. The demand for various touchless solutions increased during the pandemic as businesses wanted to maintain hygiene in their office premises, and the government also imposed regulations on maintaining social distancing and preventing huge gatherings in any public place. Biometric companies sensed the opportunity and produced a wide range of products integrated with facial recognition technology as it was the best contactless alternative to fingerprints and traditional radio frequency identification (RFID) card readers. In addition, as the utilization of devices increased to limit physical contact, the demand for facial recognition also increased. Furthermore, the rising utilization of facial recognition systems in the real estate sector to prevent unauthorized building access is supporting the growth of the market.
At present, the increasing demand for facial recognition systems due to the rising utilization of efficient surveillance systems to enhance safety and security in private and public setups represents one of the primary factors influencing the market positively. Besides this, the growing installation of facial recognition systems in various stores and shopping complexes to provide information to the store manager or shopkeeper about the preference of specific customers, their transaction history, and demographic information to improve the overall shopping experience is offering a favorable market outlook. In addition, the increasing employment of facial recognition systems in various corporate offices, government buildings, and schools to eliminate the requirement of security personnel to check and authenticate the identity of individuals manually is propelling the growth of the market. Apart from this, the rising availability of various technologically advanced facial recognition systems which can operate entirely without human assistance is bolstering the growth of the market.
