PRONUNCIATION
READING
Face recognition
We now upload over four billion photos a month onto Facebook, and anyone who uses the
site is familiar with the idea of face recognition software, which can tell you who is (or might
be) in your photo.
Face recognition is being used in many different areas, especially to help the police identify
criminals. Computers are not able to read faces like humans can, but they can be trained to
compare a face with a photo that is stored in a database. They do this by noting certain
features, or, for example, measuring the distance between the eyes. A “smart” surveillance
system – cameras which record our movements in public spaces – has now been developed
by a Japanese company which can look through 36 million faces in one second to find a
matching one. Many people say they feel safer if there are cameras to protect them in public
places, but others are not comfortable with the fact that so many images of us are stored in a
database.
The technology is not yet perfect (people who have had plastic surgery can especially
confuse the system!), but it is now often preferred to other forms of conventional
identification. This is partly because it can be used without us knowing. Face recognition is
being improved all the time. Other new technology has been designed which can predict how
a face might look as it gets older or which can fill in missing parts of an image. It can even
identify someone from video taken in very low light.
In the future, face recognition might also inspire many more good business ideas. There is
already an app for smartphones to tell how many people are at a club, and the ratio of men
to women. Sony has also designed a camera that waits for you to smile before it takes a
picture.
Finally, facial recognition doesn’t just recognize humans now – tests have been carried out
which show that individual chimpanzees can be recognized, a development that could be
used to protect wildlife in the future.
