Face Recognition Applications

  • Chapter
Handbook of Face Recognition

Abstract

As one of the most nonintrusive biometrics, face recognition technology is becoming ever closer to people’s daily lives. Evidence of this is that in 2000 the International Civil Aviation Organization endorsed facial recognition as the most suitable biometrics for air travel. To our knowledge, no review papers are available on the newly enlarged application scenarios since then. We hope this chapter will be an extension of the previous studies. We review many face recognition applications that have already used face recognition technologies. This set of applications is a much larger super-set of previously reviewed. We also review some other new scenarios that will potentially utilize face recognition technologies in the near future.
