== Reliability ==

The reliability of a "Facial Recognition System", as with any other system intended to compare physical characteristics of specified objects depends on at least the following factor:
# The amount of money to be dedicated to the development;
# The amount of time to be dedicated to the development;
# The allowable cost of the final equipment -- single-unit or serial production;
# The quality of the reference sample to be compared;
# The amount of time available for the comparison to be produced;
# The other circumstances of the comparison -- lighting, stealth, etc.
When these and other similar factors which have not been enumerated here are specified and accepted by all parties to the development, a system can be built to offer an arbitrary degree of satisfaction to the user.<br>
Basically, it is all money & time.<br>
It is how the world works: Even the Pharoahs understood this and acted on it, indeed they did, not to mention the erectors of the giant heads on Easter Island. <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:162.42.84.59|162.42.84.59]] ([[User talk:162.42.84.59|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/162.42.84.59|contribs]]) 04:56, 10 October 2006 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

: Pharaoh's slaves and Easter Island's large stone heads weren't paid for by money.
: Not to nitpick or anything, but the Pharoahs had a large slave population, far more than they needed.  Also, if you are refering to the pyramids, that was done mostly by religious fanatics from some reports, and they probably weren't paid much at all, if anything.  Just something to do when not busy in the farming seasons.
: And did they use money or care about time at Easter Island?  They didn't plan things out at all, which is why they ran out of trees, and then had to stop their insane building of giant stone heads for no reason, and find a new religion.

It is fair to say that a '''Weakness of facial recognition''' for ''security'' is the fact that it could be so easily fooled by holding up a photo of the person you are trying to imitate.
 ''(i.e.) in front of any camera.''
Obviously not for airport scanners.

For a home PC system, for example;
By holding up the Photo of the Family, on the desk, to gain access to the computer, it could be useful.

== Merger proposal ==

; Merge - Face Detection with Facial Recognition and 3D Face Recognition
The three articles are overlapping:
* "Face detection is a computer technology that determines the locations and sizes of human faces in arbitrary (digital) images."
* "A facial recognition system is a computer application for automatically identifying or verifying a person from a digital image or a video frame from a video source."
* "Three-dimensional face recognition (3D face recognition) is a modality of facial recognition methods in which the three-dimensional geometry of the human face is used."
I suggest to merge these articles:
* [[Face detection]]
* [[Facial recognition system]]
* [[Three-dimensional face recognition]]
--[[User:Solphusion|Solphusion]] ([[User talk:Solphusion|talk]]) 21:42, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

* '''Merge''' - If the articles were longer, I would understand a possible need for keeping them separate, but each is short enough that I do not think that it would be a problem to join them together into one article, especially since their topics are so similar and cover much of the same information.     [[User:Untitled2|Untitled2]] ([[User talk:Untitled2|talk]]) 02:54, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

* '''Merge''' - Yes they should be merged. [[User:Gioto|gioto]] ([[User talk:Gioto|talk]]) 00:37, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

* '''Merge''' - Who read face detection should be notified about 3D face aspect it's an important point to put in consideration, So merging will help.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/196.218.101.98|196.218.101.98]] ([[User talk:196.218.101.98|talk]]) 01:01, 15 April 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

* '''Merge''' - Face Detection and Face Recognition should NOT be merged. Face recognition differs notably from face detection, involving identification of a face or faces, whereas face detection merely determines whether any face is present in a scene but does not determine the identity of the person detected. Accordingly, face recognition involves distinct algorithms versus face detection, and the uses for the two are distinct as well. I do agree that three-dimensional face recognition should be merged as a subset of face recognition.  [[User:Grabbensac|Grabbensac]] ([[User talk:Grabbensac|talk]]) 17:48, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

:: I was alarmed to see that facial detection and facial recognition were proposed for a merge. These are two very distinct fields in computer science. Imagine proposing a merge between object oriented programming and dynamic programming. There is some overlap, and I'm not sure that there is dynamic programming without objects, but the two have very different implications and contexts. Facial detection is exactly what it sounds like (and what the description very accurately indicates), a process of determining whether faces are even present at all. Facial recognition assumes that a face is present and works to compare the face to a database of known faces. Not only are the data structures involved totally dissimilar, but the aims are totally different. I agree with the parent that 3D facial recognition could be merged. If the 3D recognition article was more informative I would be in favour of its existence, but it does not seem to contribute anything which does not fit here. Forgive the lack of a proper signature, but I am not a frequent wikipedian. I am simply surveying the state of a field I studied as a graduate student (which by no means makes me an expert, but certainly allows me to appreciate that detection != recognition).  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/72.93.185.154|72.93.185.154]] ([[User talk:72.93.185.154|talk]]) 01:15, 22 June 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

* '''DO NOT Merge''' - I agree with the previous comment; detection and recognition are two very distinct pattern-recognition problems; as a practitioner in this field with multiple patents granted I advise to keep the topics separated; if I can make some time I will try to add a little to each article to explain better the distinctions ...

* [[Facial expression capture]] is something else that seems to be redundant.  If one article is too long, it can be split, but I'm thinking its all the same thing.

:: Although there is currently some overlap between the articles, they are not all the same thing.

A tutorial & open-source code for a realtime face recognition system based on Eigenfaces is available at [http://www.shervinemami.info/faceRecognition.html] (note: I'm the creator). I think this link should be added to the "Software" list of the page, or atleast to the "External Links" section, since it lets people try out a Face Recognition System themselves rather than just read about it.
[[User:Shervinemami|Shervinemami]] ([[User talk:Shervinemami|talk]]) 14:21, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

It mentions OpenBR as the only open-source facial recognition software but OpenBR is pretty much useless. It is a project sponsored by some strange not-for-profit yet affiliated with military defense (?) organization and has little to no documentation or support for actual real-world use (for example compilation instructions are only for Ubuntu and only for 13.06 which is a little restrictive to say the least). OpenCV (as used in the tutorial by Shervinemami above) has community support from the open source world and a large amount of quality documentation, and builds across all platforms relatively easily. Rather than the tutorial I'd say opencv should be included in the list of open source software (and probably mention OpenBR is low-quality abandon-wannabe-opensourceware). There are other open source projects (or projects closely related such as face detection) but I have no opinion on those.

Both the references for it are {{Tl|Dead link}}s and, frankly, I don't believe this. The police requesting people to send in their holiday photographs makes sense, but using a facial recognition system to "to identify the abductor" is silly.

== Regarding the reliability of fingerprints ==

Fingerprints are evidently being challenged in many legal contexts as client's attorneys discover that much of the science supporting the accuracy of fingerprints for unambiguous identification has never actually been scientifically tested, and at least some proportion of fingerprint experts have no verifiable expertise, nor have many experts actually been tested for accuracy.

Here's one potential clarification from Wikipedia:

There are many more sources available on the web, including beaucoup sources from the Defense viewpoint.

== Terminology: Face Recognition vs. Facial Recognition ==

In the academic community, the term "face recognition" is more widely used than "facial recognition". For example, Google Scholar reports >3M hits for "face recognition" but only half that many for "facial recognition". Furthermore, the goal isn't to recognize a "facial" but to recognize a "face". Therefore, I suggest that we make "Face Recognition" the primary page and have "facial recognition" redirect to it. Thoughts?

== Error ==

The article states that the Department of State holds a database of 117 million adults. However, none of the cited sources proclaim that the this database is created or maintained by the State Department.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/73.39.93.61|73.39.93.61]] ([[User talk:73.39.93.61#top|talk]]) 01:24, 21 April 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

After people took a look at the workplace where this took place, many assumed that the corporate world could sell this type of software under the visage `facial recognition software'.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/2602:301:7751:160:381C:3457:AEE3:8C00|2602:301:7751:160:381C:3457:AEE3:8C00]] ([[User talk:2602:301:7751:160:381C:3457:AEE3:8C00#top|talk]]) 21:22, 24 August 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Expanding on Bans ==

Hello, I am planning on expanding the section on bans for a school project as there is only one sentence. I want to briefly expand on both San Francisco and Somerville. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! [[User:Alexissphe|Alexissphe]] ([[User talk:Alexissphe|talk]]) 18:59, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

== Facial recognition under authoritarian regimes? ==

I've seen examples of Ukrainian soldiers using FR to identify Russian war victims, but for some reason the issue of Russia, China, etc... using FR ''massively'' is not covered as well. I will probably extend the article about what I (as a Russian citizen) know about FR in Russia.

For example, as of Jan, 2019 there were<ref>https://tass.ru/moskva/5989411</ref> ~170 000 cameras in Moscow, most of them installed on residential building entrance doors. Saint-Petersburg has some too but at lesser scale. And so on.

== Outdated information tag ==

This is an article that needs constant updating due to the rapid movement of AI, but in particular the entire Advantages and Disadvantages section is from the 2000s. That's really ridiculously outdated. [[User:Poketama|Poketama]] ([[User talk:Poketama|talk]]) 11:26, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

:I added a section on AI based facial recognition, but was later removed because "Blog spam". The links were pointing to the original project pages of RetinaFace and ArcFace, and a blog explaining the different steps in an AI based facial recognition pipeline.

:::Most AI research is published on arXiv, in project pages, or in blog articles all these can be seen as forms of "self-published sources". If the Wikipedia want's to block those, it's OK, but I don't believe its a sensible approach for the particular case of AI. [[User:Nuwiz|Nuwiz]] ([[User talk:Nuwiz|talk]]) 14:11, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

:::::Some addition could be made comparing the accuracy between AI approaches (ResNet / ArcFace) and traditional approaches; but that's the main thing: using AI models instead of manually crafted features / algorithms and getting better accuracy thanks to them.

== Implementation by countries and effects of it should not be in the same part ==

The article talks about FRT then there is a section about its implementation by governments and in the same part how people reacted to it is written. Reactions to FRT implementation has no place in the article explaining technology and if at all it has to be there a separation should be there for it. [[User:Dhavalp22|Dhavalp22]] ([[User talk:Dhavalp22|talk]]) 03:26, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

:Articles on scientific advancements routinely cover implementation and the reaction of society to the changes, I can see no reason why this article should be any different. [[User:MrOllie|MrOllie]] ([[User talk:MrOllie|talk]]) 03:32, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
