Airport Installs Face Recognition Technology Island Faces It
Airport Installs Face Recognition Technology Island has just become a guinea pig of applied AI, being the first to install face recognition technology. According to an article over on BBC News entitled Iceland Places Trust in Face-Scanning, they expect it to make a significant difference for security... part of that will no doubt be caused by the hype (causing terrorists to say away! ;) That said, people are generally dubious about the potential of face-recognition, and these trials will go a long way to push them off the fence either way. The technology is based on feature extraction, whereby a pre-processing algorithm extracts essential information about the face. If 12 of those match, a human is alerted to look into the problem. Anyway, this practical application should reveal the problems with the technology, and prompt people to improve upon that. Good luck to them! | Alex J. Champandard 934 posts.
